As a DRK main, I definitely think they could work on it to bring out its identity more. It seems like this ragtag hotrod of abilities that just doesn't seem that well thought out. That being said, I think it being a tank was among the best decisions they made in heavensward. They have plenty time to keep building on it, and I think the design is far more interesting than had it been a DPS.
