Dark Passenger: Lower MP cost by half or even more. This is simply worthless outside of dungeon pulls.

Dark Dance: Increase base Parry bonus, and instead of a Dodge buff, give it a 5-10% damage reduction OR increase Parry even more when used with Dark Arts. Dodge is unreliable and is therefore worthless to a Tank.

Considering that their DPS is pretty high when OTing or MTing, I can live with slightly weaker buffs like Dark Wall, Shadowskin. In addition, these change don't encroach on PLD or WARs strengths. DRK has several damage tools and does far more than gain enmity and pop CDs for tankbusters, so whatever changes are made, please keep the theme intact.
I can very much get down with these suggestions. As an OT MP is not an problem, not by a long shot, so using a Dark Arts to force reprise wouldn't be much of an issue . And as much as I like the idea of evasion, I would definitely take more parry over it.
