The only place Dark Arts/Dark Dance really shines is in Dungeon runs on trash packs and I hit Blood Price with it all the time. Dark Dance is going to last pretty much until the pack is dead and hitting Blood Price is still going to get you some mp and it will come off cooldown for the next pack when you hit it right away. So if you didn't use it just because you had dark dance up, you basically wasted some free mp in my opinion. As godly as Dark Arts/Dark dance is on trash packs, it's still not 100% dodge. MP regain will happen.
Using DA+DD and Blood Price is just counterproductive, since Blood Price requires you to be hit by mobs to regain MP and the more mobs that hit you the more MP you get back, which means more DA+AD spam for damage and to get health back. Same with DA+DP, the Blind effect works against Blood Price.
