I have played DRK long enough to know how hard it hurts to lose your mana pool and reestablish Darkside or Grit. I've also played it during Alex and there it was even worse!

But guess what, you are exaggerating here as well. EVERY tanks burst window is resource-gated! PLD can't burst without mana, just like DRK. WAR can't burst without a decent filled beast gauge.
PLD also can't switch to Shield Oath instantly after revive, thru it indeed costs less mana than Grit, and WAR doesn't gain anything either when they switch to Defiance after death.
Losing your 'basic funtionality as a tank'? If TBN would be the only CD you have, then WAR only has Inner Beast and PLD only Sheltron.
DRK mitigation is lacking, but not so much that you would lose your 'basic functionality'.

Overwise this job would've never cleared Ultimate. It's not 'unplayable', it is 'undesired'. Notice the difference!
