    This was my experience while leveling SGE with a DRK when EW first launched. It was the one tank I disliked healing. The others were fine. But DRK was pucker time.

    It got better at 90 but it was fairly stressful leveling up.

    Because the gap between a good DRK and a mediocre DRK is just massive. No other tank makes you manage a secondary resource that has mitigation in competition with damage, so you have a lot of people choosing to dump their MP into floods post-70 rather than using TBN. You have one healing ability for pulls, and while it's good, its CD is tied to a single target ability with a big number which tempts a lot of smooth brained people. It's the tank with the most buttons and needs to press them while having the least healing so yeah W2W is rough sometimes, especially if either of your two DPS slack off.

    It does have the best invuln now though, it's just your healer has to actually let it work. LD is literally on a 2 min shorter CD than hallowed, and has double the time, if healers would just pay attention and let the DRK die when it pops. So it just remains a casual emergency panic button in most roulettes.

    Unless they press half their mits, have a regen on, full health and the trash is almost dead and THEN they press it. Like bro...
