    So that means you can keep Darkside up and can safely use TBN one time a minute.

    And when it does not break you are risking to drop Darkside when you use TBN a second time in that minute. Not to mention the dps-loss of the missing Dark Arts procc(s).

    You will be wanting to use TBN every 20s-30s for it to remain fairly equitable to the frequent use defensive abilities of the other tanks. This lines up almost exactly with the frequency of Edge/Flood in order to maintain Darkside. This was obviously intentionally designed to be like that. This points to the resource management for DRK being much tighter to optimize and potentially more punishing if you mess up. It also points to TBN needing to be used pretty much as often as you can get it out and that TBNs needs to break regularly to proc Dark Arts and then give you an Edge Flood to maintain Darkside and keep the cycle going.
