Come to think of it CoS is pretty much better than DP in every possible way.

DP being 150 potency for half a DA and thus 300 potency per DA back in HW caused literally zero issues. There was a priority. C&S>DP>DASE. Now people are saying that adding DP back into that priority by making it more potent than DA would somehow mess things up or foil SE's master god-design. I just don't see it. This is why we don't ever get buffs when we need them. PLD and WAR asked for buffs, they didn't sit around saying "well golly-gee, I sure would like a buff or two, but I think maybe what SE is trying to say here is this/that/the-other so maybe we should just deal with it."
Of course it would mess up SE's perfect design. If they were to make dark passenger a good source of damage people might want to use it, and by extension might want to bring dark knight into a raid or dungeon.
