Changing DRK to DPS entirely?

[Ditto]

The issue is you continue to speak in absolutes: "WAR/PLD is always preferable to DRK". But it's not. It is not always better to take a WAR/PLD. The only case in which it is better is if you don't trust your tank player to be able to time his CDs correctly. If the tank player is competent in that regard, the null position is that no tank job is preferable to another.

Again, WAR/PLD is sometimes preferable to DRK, particularly when you're attempting difficult content with a tank you don't know or don't trust. Just drop the "always" and we're in agreement... never a good idea to speak in absolutes.

If only a tank using his CD's were all that mattered when it came to raids.

If only.

Oh wait our CD's aren't even as good as a Paladins anyway. Right.

I usually double Drk tank Ravana EX. Me and a friend both Drk. Last night however, he was out, and we got a Warrior to come along, and let me tell you, the extra damage and just the storms path alone made the fight so much easier. Especially in the last phase where Ravana is sitting at 5 stacks and is trying to eat yours, and everyone's face.
