i think, as is the case with many games, it can be difficult to know the potential of a job until someone actually does it first and paves the way. there's one particular player on my DC who routinely picks up 20 kill games on drk like it's nothing and if he actually had good, consistent teammates and heals he'd probably already have had a 30 kill game or two. to be honest, i consider that to be an eventuality anyway.

if drk had chain stuns or cover or whatever else like pld, i'd say sure try to use it as more of a support tank. but if you look at the abilities afforded to it, it's basically a tanky drg. you can do big, big things with dark knight.
The problem with going off of kills alone is, most kills in Frontlines especially aren't 1 on 1. You could literally run around just to attempt to final hit as Drk, especially with C&S and rack up kills so quickly.

Last hits are what kills are, and they're a terrible way to determine what place a class is in. Unless we're talking about summoners. It only takes common sense to know that they're a tad bit ridiculous right now.

Anyway ya, Drk is definitely more DPS-like. They're just as selfish a role in PvP as they are in PvE.
