So long as DRK remains the reigning champion of mitigation that it is it deserves absolutely zero damage buffs. Simply put, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If something is topping the board in defense while being just below the same in damage, we like to call that overpowered. Because you see, if that were the case then bringing a DRK to every single raid would be entirely mandatory, regardless of comp. So as things currently stand DRK is frankly perfectly fine. It tops the charts in mitigation, outright breaking the chart in some situations as well, and it compensates for that with its sub-par DPS compared to PLD and GNB. This is something called balance and it is very important for the game's health.

On a side note, no the "king of mitigation" is anything but a stretch. It's the simple truth of the matter, and why you are so incapable of accepting the reality of the situation is entirely beyond me, and likely many others. Really, nothing is "necessary" in savage beyond 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. So long as you meet those criteria you can mostly do whatever you want with the actual comp and jobs within them because the game is, barring a select few outliers, fairly well balanced in its current state.
Hiding under a rock for months then jump in to a thread I have been in for those months and saying that makes you look foolish, bud. No one cares about how "DRK is the king" in mit if a healer still has to heal the same thing with very slight differences. Why is the top tank being played still GNB and PLD? They consistantly do better with DRK behind them. DRK is a better playstyle than WAR, you will have no arguments about that from anyone who has played either of the tanks. It just feels like TO ME (OPINION) that DRK should be on the higher side of the damaging tanks for the effort you put in over PLD being close to as braindead as WAR.

You know who doesn't like DRK? Healers. Because Living Dead is still a thing. If you have a WHM its fine, if you don't there are *groans* going out or sighs because say hello to dumping all your resources at X time to full heal a ticking time bomb and then being left with far less skills to OGCD the tanks for a while which could result in lower damage if the DRK isn't using TBN on cooldown (which I see most don't as a flex tank).

Because of Living Dead, I cannot give the title to best mitigation to DRK, that invuln is a gigantic flaw because of instant death without a WHM being a real possiblity.
