    DRK needs to memorize fights down to the auto attack to maximize TBN usage. Knowing where you can and cant break depending on gear, ilv, and all that junk. Otherwise you're going to be throwing away ~510 potency every time you mess up.
    You also need to do this because DRK doesn't get Do-over buttons like WAR does, maximizing TBN is how you make DRK tanky and damage you take is practically permanent unless a healer is on you. On top of that you want to hover around max MP before the next burst window without overcapping to maximize the damage you do within it, hence why we're memorizing down to the auto attack.

    Its not terribly hard, but its harder than the fire-and-forget nature of Bloodwhetting, which at most you can say "could be used more optimally somewhere else". Its never a detriment to you.
    I'm not tracking external mits just to make sure it's safe to use my short cd mit as any of the other tanks because they can use theirs off cooldown.
    I'm not lining up MP for the big burst, looking for a way to pop TBN so i can have 5 edges during the burst as any of the other tanks.
    I don't have to memorise what tank busters are magic and physical as any of the other tanks. I generally find that i don't have to plan mits at all as other tanks.
    I don't have to weave 14 ogcd's+mits during tankbusters as any of the other tanks.

    All of the tanks are easy, but i think a lot of people never even really looked into optimizing Dark knight.
    I just recently got Warrior to level cap and i already know the optimal damage rotation intuitively, there's no thought involved with any of it's mits because it's mostly reactive healing and there's very little room for optimisation.
    Anyone saying anything other than Warrior is very disingenuous or just didn't play all of the tanks.
