    PLD is a great first tank. I disagree that DRK's defensive suite won't hurt its DPS---DA DD, DA DM anyone?

    OT can be weird on fights that only need 1 tank. Try to shame one of the DPS guys I guess.

    DRK's defensive abilities outside the hurt less/hurt a lot less/don't die are tied to the ability to force a parry proc (with a cooldown usually) or the use of dark arts to pump out useful defensive cooldowns.

    Because of this, one must always keep in mind upcoming mechanics and whether mana will need to be expended (be in DD,DM,Unleash/Urchin of Death) or if it can be burnt with DADD/CnS.

    Due to this, playing offensively as a drk will result in fewer meaningful cooldowns in return for higher damage.
