For me, the main mechanic of HW's DarkSide is "Do I have enough MP left to spend it on other skills while not letting Darkside drop ?". In that regard, since you can't spend MP on anything not Darkside related and you gain much more MP than what you need to reapply it before the timer run off, this mechanic is basically non existant, making it closer to a simple toggle in real combat.
