That's your answer. If your drk only does 1 power slash out of grit after you pull the boss then you'll rip it sooner or later even with not a single butcher's block, since your dps is naturally higher than the drk (assuming equally skilled and geared). That's where shadewalker comes in, but that still won't let you use butcher's block without forcing them to do another power slash.

Optimally the MT doesn't die.
