Since ShB, I've actually been quite happy with the DRKs I run across. I'm not sure what all has changed, but I'll take it. PLDs, which used to be #1, have dropped to my least favorite. :X
I'll explain you what has changed:

TBN was buffed from a 20% to a 25% shield.

DRK lost AoE blind
DRK lost his spamable AoE selfheal
DRK lost mana regenration, wich means he can use TBN a bit less often now
DRK lost his selfheal from Sole Survivor
DRK lost 10% damage reduction from Dark Mind (wich doesn't matter most of the time since it's magic only)
