I could see legit hybrid classes like Red Mage and Blue Mage being made into hybrids, but having Dark Knight as a hybrid just doesn't make sense...

I'd be satisfied with Dark Knight being a slightly more durable DPS than DRG, with some drain support style abilities to save them if they get hate, or are suddenly off tanking.

See my original suggestion. A great sword wielding DPS with some debilitating abilities, and sacrifice safety to deal more damage risk-reward dynamic. If you pull threat, switch to draining attacks and skip risky moves until the tank takes hate back.
