Just to clear some things up about the new DRK

Quietus and DP still need to be looked at for sure but the pre-launch vitriol over ability descriptions was so volatile.

Quietus feels pretty ok to me so far. With Blood Price being more a Blood Gauge generator than one for MP now, a decently sized pack is giving me one every few Abyssal Drains/Unleashes. Can't say I often find the MP to Dark Arts it, that being better served on said MP AoEs or The Blackest Night, but that's about it for complaints. Sharing the Grit ignoring bonuses that Bloodspiller has would be a welcome perk though.
Dark Passenger definitely needs to go back to the old MP cost though. The Blind is absolutely lovely now that things actually hurt, but nearly 50% of max MP to do it is rather harsh.

I've been throwing up TBN and BP before pulls and I can stack 100 blood in no time at all, but after 2-3 abyssal drains I just do two non-DA quietus for fear of running out of mana. As you said, blowing half an MP bar on DA DP is wasted. DRK single target is so so good but I cant stand doing trash atm.
