Thoughts on a few DRK abilities

[Borascythe]

I've been reading a number of guides and talking with other DRKs and combining this with my own experience with the class. I am just curious what other DRKs have found to be the case with their tanking.

In regards to single target combos, I've found using dark arts + soul eater combo to be the obvious best choice if I have enough enmity. However, what about when your MP dips a bit? Without an available blood price, do you opt for a delerium combo so you can get some more MP back while doing a bit of dmg? I've been debating between doing that vs a non-dark arts boosted soul eater. It's only 20 potency difference...

Unleash seems to have little value once you get abyssal drain. Unless I am just starved for MP, I have found abyssal drain to be the better option. What are your thoughts on this? I've also found pulling with abyssal drain on large groups like in A2 to be pretty fun .

I've noticed some guides saying to pull with salted earth. I've found pulling with an unmend followed by an immediate plunge to be more effective. I like to weave in my salted earth right after I start my power slash combo.
