    About Dark knight's mp management

    During Boss fights, I feel like as long as you..
    1.Dont cap mp or blood.
    2.Proc & use blood spiller as much as possible.
    3.Only use Dark passenger for aggro or on 2+ enemies.
    4.DA+ carve and spit, sole survivor, and plunge on cd.
    5.Prioritze delirium to be used on Blood
    weapon.
    6.Avoid grit as much as possible.

    Your dps should be good.
    Is there anything im missing?
    Pls share your thoughts.

    1. Don't cap MP, if you're going to use either DP or TBN.
    2. Don't cap Blood, if you're going to either use BS or Delirium.

    If you are in a situation where both 1 and 2 are happening you messed up, don't do it again.

    Outside of that, perform your rotation with as much uptime as possible, using your oGCDs on cooldown (with the exception of Salted Earth, which you should be maximizing ticks, not casts) and you're just about doing as much DPS as you can.

    One day I'll be the MT mountain I want to be... But that day is not today. (As of Patch 3.2)

    My tip would be to keep your blood as close to 0 as possible, given that delirium isn't coming off CD anytime soon. We could technically "pool" up resources for buff windows, blood included, but that feels too risky for too little gain. To support this fear, there is a pin on the balance discord that shows the effect of using your resources optimally versus just using them all willy-nilly like I would recommend. Whether or not the gain is worth it is up to you, but I play it safe.

    By using blood spiller on activation, we avoid the danger of overcapping on one resource almost entirely.

    I'm a fan of "rule of thumb" kind of heuristic methods, and for DRK it works out very nicely.

    Dont use dark passenger on single target for agro is a dps loss if you have Slashing debuff on the team , better get used to use plunge + DA if you want more agro, and yeah put special effort on dont cap you resources, delirium Windows with sole survivor or TBN Blood can be tricky some times.
