Every tank role has at least reprisal + an AoE mitigation at 70 except Dark Knight. It should be fixed .
Having all tanks learn the same things around all the level brackets makes for a boring levelling experience. The actual outlier here is Gunbreaker doing too much having access of basically everything at 70 so if anything their Heart of Light should be moved up or their damage output be adjusted.

DRK got Stalwart Soul at 6.0 down to Lv40 because it was a decent streamlining of gameplay, making using Flood of Darkness / Shadow in AOE not a slog and far more accessible. Having Dark Missionary down at 70 does nothing for the job except just create another tank that has an AOE mitigation, which there is already plenty of even if you were to have a Dark Knight in your party. You make up for it for frequent access of TBN.

So let's go about it, let's make sure all tanks have all fundamental tank things at Lv70, because why not? There are ultimates right? Let's give:

-Paladin their dash and possibly even their HP recovery on using damaging spells at low levels because they need it and other tanks have it
-Warrior Nascent Flash because they are kind of just a Holmgang bot and can't give anything to their co-tank, so they need it and because other tanks have it
-Gunbreaker Fated Circle at Lv70 so they can finally use AOE spenders, which they totally need at that level to inflate their already way too high damage on UcoB adds and because other tanks have it
-give all other tanks their Lv82 mitigation upgrade to achieve parity with TBN's power because they clearly need it

We can go on and on about how much you are "griefing your party" for playing Dark Knight, but at the end of the day you absolutely do not need it because there is enough mitigation as is and lacking one will not make the fight unclearable.
