The only other thing I'd probably like to see is Tar Pit adjusted to a ground based AoE that has a Bind, rather than a heavy. Their party utility would be fantastic, and their chase potential would serve the team, rather than just themselves.

IDK about that, situations where that chasing potential works in my favor are usually situations where I want to kill someone as fast as possible, not Bind them and wait for my team to catch up... Waiting usually means their healer respawns and heals them... Bind would be more useful in other situations though, but I think I prefer a previous suggestion of effectively making Tar Pit reverse Mythril Tempest; Draws people in rather than pushing them out. Would have similar utility and make the Heavy slightly more valuable, since you're not only slowing people down, but pulling them away from where they want to be too... Plus interrupt potential...

Depends on how much HP is sacrificed, and have you seen Living Dead? Stupidly dangerous is kinda Dark Knights thing... Stacks nicely with Living Dead, now that I think about it...

If I drop say 25% of my HP to heal someone, I don't see that as particularly dangerous... Tar Pit can easily heal that back, as can Sole Survivor... Tanks are rarely the focus of attention anyway, and if losing 25% makes me the center of attention? Good... Not only does that give my healer a breather (after I've presumably just healed them), but it also lets me get more of out of Blood Price and my defensive cooldowns which generally sit unused for most of the match...

Also, no on changing Carnal Chill... That doubling up as ranged burst is too valuable... Heck, even if I was solely using it for the debuff, having it AoE around me seems more limited than being able to look at a Warrior half way across the map and go "That's a nice stack of Abandon you have there...", I've had far too many clutch kills/saves by tossing Carnal Chill out from a distance... Despite it's obvious weaknesses compared to what Paladin has, it's actually perfectly fine IMO...

I've toyed around with the idea of Dark Arts Delirium damaging MP, it would be quite nice for Dark Knight to have something that pushes long encounters in their favor, since currently longer encounters are nothing but bad for a Dark Knight...
