If you die on WAR or PLD, you lose dps (that's kind of the way it's supposed to work). If you die on DRK, you lose your ability to even have basic functionality as a tank.

I find that a lot of people struggle to understand how burst works on DRK, let alone Delirium. It's resource-gated burst. Your Delirium needs to happen in sync with raid buffs. If you go into it with zero MP, you're in an equal amount of trouble as anyone else. You're just burning the cooldown to get back on track, similar to if you wasted Infuriate outside of a burst window to get a bit of resources. Your goal is to get as many DA uses into the window as possible, and you can't do that if you're at zero MP.
