So create the habit of dropping it now.
I can't post my findings now, but keep in mind reapplying Darkside has an mp cost of roughly 12 seconds worth of uptime mp drain. Dropping dark side and reapplying it before 12 seconds is a loss of mp.

Fights like Ravana Ex seemed to have been designed with DRKs in mind. Lots of phases with no damage perfect for dropping grit and getting blood weapon time in to regrn MP to use.
