DRK viable in end-game content

[Erim-Nelhah]

DRK is good in current end game meta due to it's high magical defensive abilities. If you're looking to MT, you should also level up PLD because if the next set of bosses end up being physical there is a good chance that PLD will replace DRK. Assuming you're getting into a hard core raiding group.

If SE doesn't ease up on the Savage DPS checks and/or make it so that tanks have to eat a physical tankbuster more often than Shadow Wall will be available (which may or may not actually be feasible due to Sentinel having the same CD and Sheltron being tricky to time for that), I don't see PLD replacing DRK. Even if they did do the physical damage thing, if DPS checks remain as tight as they are, I think we'd be more likely to see WAR/WAR comps than PLD/WAR (unless LB requirements dictate otherwise).
