One hope i have for DRK's in 4.2

while there's another tank still in the DRK about its own fixes.

Love the wordplay there, however I just want to point something out...

Before 4.0 were we told that they would "increase the usability of Paladin". Now they are using that exact same phrase for Dark Knight and all three of the healers in regards to 4.2 and they also used it for Astrologian when they made it busted beyond all reason in 3.X. So I feel that in most cases it is safe to assume that usability to them often equates to "buff the life out of it until people want to use it again," as that is what that choice of wording has led to in the past. It's not optimism, as God knows I have very little in regards to any changes given to Dark Knight, but if they follow past trends we can probably guess what it is they're going to do to some extent... which is make Dark Knight stronger than it needs to be to get people to play it again.

I agree, that should be by all means the expectation. However like you, I have a horrible habit of taking things with a cargo ship stocked with salt.

Definitely. I'm concerned that they could deny expectations and just simply give potency increases. Which in my mind, is worse than what we currently have as it fixes none of the issues that plague the job. I'd much prefer they try and find a middle ground, but as history has shown... it's not really something they've been capable of yet. They could surprise us, but I am expecting the worst and hoping for the best. lol
