People get thirsty and see DRK at 1% but don't realize they are using living dead and waste globals on the DRK.

But in general yes its probably better to ignore the tank and kill the backline. People just lose sight of that because the tank is always in the front and a lot of people don't want to dive the back line and if you have a ton of ranged the ranged is gonna wanna stay back so the tank is their only target.
To be fair there IS a reason to keep hitting a Dark Knight.

Upon using Eventide LB, they get a free bloodspiller, which they can keep cycling by using the HP they gain from the lifesteal immediately for Shadowbringer to create a Bloodspiller chain. By forcing their HP below 12000 you essentially force them to Quietus for more value or they hit for peanuts after Eventide, which makes it just an emergency invuln - rather low value.
