Gunbreaker builds strict charges and uses those to perform attacks in a pattern, where Dark Knight without Delirium is more like a dragoon that cycles between the main combo and OGCDs. I'd actually introduce Obilation earlier in their progression and have TBN come later, since TBN is not going to be as useful as another mitigation during the leveling experience.

Personally, I wouldn't even care if we lost quietus, blood spiller, and delirium since they are just there to act as a damage boost on the main skills. They could easily be replaced with a skill that makes your main combo grant a free flood of shadow on each hit, so you'd use it and then start using flood of shadow between each GCD.
