Oh, no, you're probably right. Darkside is easier to keep up, since it's a stance that uses mana. So all you have to do to keep it going is make sure your mana doesn't run out while also keeping aggro on targets. DRK can easily manage mana since it has Syphon Strike and Blood weapon to restore mana. I suppose You don't have to keep track of as many things as BLM there.
