Is the extra 210 potency going to make up for lost dark arts attack? Nvm making sure you aren't going to cap on blood gauge when the shield breaks. I don't know. Plunge is a bit different since it has no cost associated, nor is any party raid utility being compromised by using it. Could be wrong but just my thought process here.

I agree they should make one of the role actions have more synergy with DRK. PLD has synergy with Rampart and War with Awareness. Anticipation would be a good place to start since they lost dark dance.
You forgot that using TBN procs 50 blood, and that means a Delirium or a Bloodspiller. Right now, using TBN on CD while gritless to proc Bloodspillers is a slight DPS loss over time. With Reprisal, it's a whole new story, as we got a free 210 extra potecny every minute, making it a dps gain on those occasions. And we also have to take into account the possibility of a natural proc by parry, which happens sometimes. And 210 is greater that the 140 potency Dark Arts put on the table, so yes, it's a DPS gain.

It will not solve every problems DRK got, pheraps not totaly DPS wise, but it's still a good ability on the defensive side, with an offensive spin.
