Everything in this thread has been pretty bang on. DRK has a far better story from what I can tell (I hate the WAR story ... every lil part of it) and I do like their options for AoE aggro.
Main problem is that I know nothing of how they're supposed to work at level 50 but I guess I can figure that out on my own in lil time.

I think I'll go with DRK for a bit, I am a betting man and I figure that things will swing into their favor soon enough anyway.
