Just gotta say... how does that make sense, especially in the context of tank vs. dps? You're referencing a class for which, at release, every spec could be either role, rotates nothing like a Dark Knight, and shares only a few themes with the latter job ("Abyssal" -> Shadow, delay of death / (temporary) undeath, and a something slightly to do with souls).

I wish I could say the same for DRK, that its toolkit wasn't explicitly built to be a tank but rather tanking was something it could simply do fairly well, if only for the hybrid possibilities that might bring in the future. But, for better or worse, they're hardly alike.
