But with the way it is, said dynamic cannot be achieved without an insane cost of 1800MP AND a global cooldown. Even dropping the stance before Syphon Strike ( HS -> DA -> grit-drop -> Syphon ) can cause a clip before the next skill properly goes off. Re-entering Grit in the middle of a fight is not only DPS-wise an absolute no-go, it also hurts the dynamic and fluidity that DRK is supposed to have.

And as you describe it so well, it still retains the 1800 MP cost and thus still comes with a risk.
