What have you done?

Where's the DRK then? You know, the fast-paced, high-APM tank who has to manage MP extensively? Because all I see now in 5.0's DRK is "well, we're kinda like WAR now, but with less big numbers".

Its gone because it was bad and it would be even worse in comparison to current PLD and War if it stayed the same way.
Action per minute doesnt mean a lot if its one button being pressed multiple times in that minute that is only used to increase damage for action used.

Why do you care about DRK? Paladins and Warriors are still better, so you should and have to play them considering that you solely care about performance and not gameplay. So let those who actually care about gameplay criticize the current DRK.

You missed the point.
If job works (it does) then it is fine, developer wont go back to the old version just because there are people who do not like the gameplay of the reworked job that is in a good shape in terms of performance.

If DRK flow and personal style was good in the past why change it at all? It have problems like the rest of the jobs in the game for sure but most ppl claim HW was and is still the best version of the job with is everything what we love and is not anymore so this rework was unjustified and the backslash from the old mains is well deserved.

There was always something to complain about and dev did listen to all these complaints.
They took now different approach because it wasnt working well, and they did best thing they could have done for this job by just ignoring those who have no idea what they really want. HW was the best if you look at it from rose glasses, there were people complaining about it, were they wrong or right? Apparently SB DRK was all fine and good, then why it wasnt played that much and people complained about everything? It came back to life after a series of buffs, but the design was flawed to the core and i cant imagine SB DRK going into ShB without overhaul.
