Do stone sea sky and use SSS calculator to see how you're doing. Bear in mind that a full on dps rotation is quite different from a hate rotation, not just in the skills you use, but also your mp management. Also you need to make sure you remember the mp order of priority for your job (Single target):

1. Keeping up darkside
2. 2 uses of Dark Passenger per minute
3. A Dark arts Carve and spit once per minute
4. Dark Arts Soul Eater with remaining usable mp (without dropping you to critical low levels)

Also bear in mind, that in some instances, using DA for a defensive cool-down takes priority over everything (specifically with Dark Mind on magic tank busters)
