DRK Rework

[kashi11]

Second time trying my hand at a Dark Knight fix.

Please let me know what you think and give me as much feedback/suggestions as possible.

Changes account for approximately +17.63 PPS


Update: +11.73 PPS or +169.38 DPS

EDIT:1 PPS ~ 14.44 DPS
My target DPS increase for DRK is ~ +200 DPS, putting it safely between PLD and WAR
This Equates to around +14 PPS for DRK
