DRK Buff/Rework - Thoughts?

the thing is dark mind +TBN cover the same amount of mitigationt if no more (idk the actual numbers) without losing dps, at the contrary DA dark mind is a dps loss for a 15% extra and if you want to add TBN on it means you have to fit 3 cds in a tb cast with a insane cost of 4800 of mp if you have it.

Perhaps I'm not being clear. I mean make the base duration 30 sec regardless of DA or no DA. Unless we are compromising on potency in light of a longer duration, it's the exact same effect - just a longer duration (that's bad?). If the cooldown is longer by 30 sec (60 vs 90) then it does effect things compared to higher DM+TBN frequency, but it'd technically be double the uptime as current DM, and on a magic specific boss it'd be a hell of a nice fluff damage CD (compared to mainly using solo for TBs).

Let's just look at some example math

AA incoming 9.5k each for 30 sec
(10 autos?)

95000 incoming damage
-15% (8075 per hit) 80,750 -- 14,250 mitigated
-30% (6650 per hit) 66,500 -- 28,500 mitigated

I don't think I need to math out an obviously inferior 10 sec DM.. Additionally, if you used it during a window where there is already a magic TB occurring, you could likely get away with not even using TBN the same way a War might only use Vengeance. So, it'd likely end up being a DPS increase since you might not necessarily have to use TBN as much
