If you consider 2400 MP as strictly a C&S:
350/2=175
226+175=401

So if C&S is coming off cooldown and casting BN to get a BS will rob you of the MP to DA it, this is the only time that BN or BS are ever a DPS loss.

No idea if all this + the Darkside buff is going to make up for the other stuff they gutted from us like Reprisal/LB/Scourge but I am hopeful.
If you're not using grit, it works out as a 10 potency loss per BN+BS used together.
3* 380 = 1140 potency.

For a SE combo:
680+ 420 (3 dark arts (mp saved on not using BN)) + 70 (Syphon Strike)= 1170 potency.

You can also argue that by using SE combo, you generate 1/5th of a natural bloodspiller. That's roughly 74 potential potency.
