"This started as a sort of 'DRK can't be that bad surely' and now that I'm done I figured I'd share the numbers. Feel free to tell me if you see anything wrong here.

I have around 70,000 HP on my tanks and seem to get about 1,250 HP per 100 potency, so I'll work with those numbers. I'm also going to assume single target. Skills that have 90 second cooldowns will have their potencies reduced to 66%.

Dark Knight: 2,000 ppm healing // 1,400 ppm shielding per use of TBN.
Paladin: 4,650 ppm healing // 560 ppm shielding
GNB: 4,360 ppm healing // 1,000 ppm shielding
WAR: 8,360 ppm healing // 1,520 ppm shielding
War, as expected has ridiculous amounts of healing, but I didn't expect it to also have the most amount of shielding. With it potentially being a 21% shield instead of just 15%, it can be even better than listed here. Assuming DRK isn't gimping their DPS by moving MP out of raid buffs by using more than 1 TBN, they have the lowest healing potency by far and only second for shielding potency.

I'm not going to compare Damage Reduction here, but Dark Mind and Dark Missionary both being magic-only really restricts DRK on what it can do. The tiny DPS advantage just doesn't seem like it's worth the massive deficit in actually tanking things."
