I most of the time personally take Awareness and Mercy Stroke, but for Thordan EX I put Foresight instead of Mercy Stroke.

Foresight is 20% defense, but 20% defense doesn't mean it's 20% physical damage reduction. It's far less from that. I don't know the exact maths about it, but if I can recall, Foresight ended up being 6-8% physical damage reduction.
Is awareness even all that good? I thought it was the weakest defensive move. Enemies only have a 5% crit rate for 50% extra damage (2.5% damage reduction, only on abilities that crit) and it has a 5s shorter duration than foresight. I prefer foresight, as it can help with DRK's overall weaker mitigation vs. physical damage. If i'm trying to maintain constant mitigation against physical damage, I try to pair Foresight + DD + Reprisal proc (may need to hold the reprisal to get them to all line up) and mix that in with your normal shadowskin/shadow wall usage, etc.

Bloodbath doesn't seem that special either, particularly since you can't pair it with a damage boost like berserk or FoF. I mean, I use it on the DRK, but I wouldn't consider it must have like Convo & Provoke.
