It was NIN's Shadow Fang. It applied a Slashing debuff in the Liveletter against PvE mobs, but the tooltip says that the slashing effect only worked in PvP, very mysterious.

I'm guessing to raise the skill ceiling of DRK, now that Dark Arts is only a 2s CD, more ability to burn extra MP on demand might get used to smooth out MP overflows from Blood Price/other things. The added potency is identical to a DA Souleater or Bloodspiller, anyways.
