I like the "risk vs reward" aspect of TBN it adds a lot of skill expression to Dark Knight, the issue is that in reality its all risk no reward.
I much rather TBN Actually Increases the next Edge of shadow / flood of shadow by lets say 20%? if used correctly on a target, instead of this punishing ability that you only use when you know it will break.
A reward missed is a punishment. There's no real difference between the two.

If something you can optimize feels more like a punishment than a reward, it generally means only either that the job is tuned such that it needs more perfect use of the given skill than its competitors do of their analogs and/or the type of output rewarded isn't well valued due to the present content tuning and/or errant community perceptions.

Make TBN damage-positive via the bonus damage of 20% of an Edge/Flood and now you've got over 400 relative potency per minute dependent on your using (and popping) TBN on CD.

I'm not against softening the punishment a bit, but rewards missed are still punishment, and it's best to assume that any maximum ppm they produce is just going to be balanced out directly (removed from the skill) or indirectly (other skills of that level range will lose a bit of potency in compensation).
