Because every time there is discussion between you and me, you make VERY hard for me to side with your reasonings.
The reason to not do make DRK a gcd job is because its never been one and its focus on ogcds is one of the few surviving bits of its job flavor left.
Its mean to be high apm and have a focus on weaving both offensively and defensively, and its honestly pretty rewarding to pull off successfully. DRK is deceptively flexible with mitigations, and very good at just not taking damage. But its not as straight forward as pressing short mit + rampart. I think its completely fine as is.

You have mitigation tools that last long enough that you can pre-mit before a burst window starts and not think about it. If you absolutely NEED to triple weave or let something drift, just drop a plunge? Your damage will survive. As long as you're landing your big buttons in the burst window, and keeping Living Shadow out on CD, no one is going to care if you want to extra mit and take a slight damage loss.

I'd really rather not see more things be stripped off DRK for the sake of appealing to players who play other tank jobs, if you want a GCD centric tank, again we have WAR and we have PLD.
Its okay to not like a job, but expecting a distinguished job to completely rework itself just to appeal to you is pretty unrealistic.
