DPS is the job of DPS.

Depends on the tank. DRK in particular can keep both Grit and Darkside up, which results in no penalty to damage, but no increase either. They stance dance by dropping Grit and activating Blood Weapon to increase their damage.

Even if Darkside cancels out Grit’s damage penalty, it’s still a penalty. It’s net-zero with Grit+Darkside; it’s +20% with just Darkside. Darkside doesn’t require Grit to be used, and there’s never a reason now to not have Darkside up 100% of the time since they removed the steady MP drain from it. So it’s still a technically a penalty.

EDIT:

Uhm...there are still damage penalties in grit.

I never said there wasn't.
