Which can be done with as little as just adding an MP cost to Shadowbringer and increasing Shadowbringer's potency by Edge's in compensation, thereby reducing the number of attacks that have to be fit inside the 2-minute burst by 2, which then allows space enough for defensives. Done.

It does not require turning most of DRK's oGCDs into GCDs.
At this point you might as well just say that Stormblood Dark Arts spam was only underwhelming because the damage you dealt from it was not meaningful enough, and I already hate oGCD spam on a job that looks it's having trouble swing a huge sword or axe around, and I would rather have haste effect of 20% or 25%, and I would rather Dark Knight play more like Reaper than whatever job Dark Knight is trying to emulate in its current state. And I would go play Reaper but DPS ques atrocious for duty roulette, so I have to go on either Paladin or Gunbreaker, and Paladin does what Dark Knight is trying to do but so much better.
