Dark Knight Megathread

Its a good idea on paper however it will quickly devolve into the parsing meta. There will be no longer a thoughtful of meaningful change behind the ability. It will just fall into use what does the most or provides the most damage . Ultimately, you'd still be pressing two buttons or raising your APM/workload for something that should only need one button to begin with.

Looking back, making SB Dark Arts go away was their best design decision so far. I should cut them some slack.

I hate that argument, as valid as it is. "Hey, defensive stance is basically useless on tanks, should we adjust enmity so they have a reason to use it?" "Nah, we'll just cut that out." Ideally, it would work out that you'd want to DA every other use of the ability so both versions are actually part of your kit/rotation, but again historically they don't have a great record with that type of stuff.
