On Dark Knight, if you feel you have to pop your Living Dead, it's not usually used as a form of Mitigation - outside of some scenarios that involve tank busters. RAther, it's used in the same context as Hallowed Ground and Holmgang.

"My healer can't keep me alive. I have to do something to extend my life."

A dark knight that dies to Living Dead in a dungoun was either not rotating mitigation properly, pulled more than they/their healer could handle, or weren't getting healed by a DPS-healer.
Both Hallowed Ground and Holmgang are used as forms of mitigation. In raiding context, they are often planned to be used at certain times. In dungeons, a good tank will plan/communicate ahead of time ("Going to pull everything and pop hallowed").
