You suggest Guard? Great. Now meet their RPR/DNC/WAR.
Here's a fun fact for you: I rarely see premades that run RPR/DNC/WAR, because there just isn't enough people hitting Guard for them to be needed yet. They can probably be dealt with the same way, or you can try the following: when you think they're about to go for it, find your job's defensive cooldown and use that. Next step is to hit Purify for the Resilience buff. Next, sprint and do a running jump away. Timed right, it'll create more distance between you and the DRK. Then do a second one to create more distance between you and whatever the problem is. Especially if the problem is a DNC - you have a couple of seconds between seeing the visual effect for Contradance and getting slapped with Seduced, so create more distance if possible. Does it suck to blow your job's defensive and Purify like this? Sure. Wanna know what sucks more? Dying without at least trying to do anything about it.
