Back on topic however I hope by the expansion they really give DRK a look over and not hope making some slight change to Parry will fix all their problems.

Especially when it comes to OT role and Living Dead as a skill. Such a drain on the healer and if full HP total isn't restored the DRK just dies and then you have to waste more MP to res the DRK if you aren't already dead and usually if I have to use Living Dead the healer is well dead and it's because DPS failed a mechanic big time.

You can macro it but it's much more efficient to have a healer buddy with a vocal channel open. Things go a lot smoother. But in Pug's? Good luck.
