What about creating an ACTUAL Dark Knight?

First I have to say that I have never DRK in FF14, so I am basing my thoughts on what I think it should do. To me it seems that DRK would have been better served as a DPS class that focused on sacrificing life to deal exponential dmg. So that DRK did not have to rely on a healer to function properly

And then get hit by an AOE and die, making the healer ress you. Next!
