1. Most, including myself, go with placing all Attribute Points into STR, so that's fine.

2. For the left side pieces of gear, just go with the highest Item Level you can obtain. It's the right side (Accessories) that you will need to decide on. If you want to play it safe and have more HP, then a ratio of 4 Fending:1 Slaying perhaps. Generally though, most would go with a 2F:3S or 3F:2S. Never use all Fending if you can help it - doing more damage does help with aggro and taking down the target faster.

3. Always have Darkside up where possible and be careful with your usage of Dark Arts. If needed, don't be afraid to switch off Darkside and let your mana regen for a bit before switching back on.
Against a group of mobs (3 and above), you can just use Unleash along with your Souleater Combo to regain mana and health.
If your health has dropped quite a bit, throw a Dark Arts + Abyssal Pain to recover health.

Hope my advice helps you

Left side: ilvl > avoid parry (always spend points on left side first)

Right side is always a huge debate but you'll want slaying and fending. I choose to get slaying first since I'm rarely ever in fending accessories.

Add ACC/VIT as needed.

The best parry set currently offers just under 30% chance to parry, and parry is a flat 20% physical damage reduction when it happens.
That amounts to about 7% physical damage mitigation over time.
In my opinion it's just not worth the investment over the Crit/Det you would lose out on, which amounts to a very significant DPS boost.
Also, those numbers are only achievable with the BEST gear available, which is also far off from what is obtainable at the moment.
Finally, just to add in, that parry set also has a tremendous amount of Skill Speed in it, which could be potentially horrible for Dark Knights, since we have the worst TP management of the 3 tanks by miles. (This makes me so sad!)
