    Correct me if I'm wrong, but for DD to be less than 7%, your base parry rate would have to be zero or very close to it. When progressing on an encounter tanks aren't able to get their parry rate to the bare minimum using Void Ark gear and other such shenanigans that are symptoms of being hideously overgeared to begin with, so its actually a much more powerful CD in those instances when you're gearing up and having to deal with having a parry rate higher than whatever it is at 341, which is still enough to make DD better than Foresight... And then there's its recast which makes it at least double Foresight's mitigation over the course of a fight.

    Either way, DD almost 100% means Reprisal, which is raid wide mitigation at no cost to DPS and really is kind of an extra CD for DRK as much at it is just looked at as another oGCD DPS ability, so comparing it to Foresight which has no implications or effects for DRK beyond that 20% extra defense is a bit misleading, I feel.
