If it can clear the toughest of the tough fights and not hold back an A list team from being world 1st multiple times, then the job isn't THAT bad when look at performance. Multiple/back to back world 1sts don't mean drk has zero issues of any kind, but it does show that the issues (performance wise) are not terribly impactful. If they were, they would show cracks at the high end optimization in these kinds of attempts. Performance power is also a very different issue than 'fun' or 'clunky' complaints. But when a job can keep up with the best of the best, then it is a functional, viable job. Aesthetics are a whole different ball game.
I don't think you need to go verbose to state what is a given. The fact that 2-3 people here keep posting "DRK is fine" and then say "it has 2 world firsts on ultimate" is at the end a champion belt for the player, not the job. Because the player likes playing the class and knows how to make due with its weaknesses just like everyone who plays the game looks to do the same.

But yeah, lets devolve this conversation to the usual "but x job is fine because it cleared this" or "maybe the job isn't for you" topic; since that's all we're capable of doing.
