Yet, a DRK is also the job that gives me the best ability to prevent sudden deaths in the first place -- apart from maybe Paladin.

Just did an Antlion fight in Expert Roulette an hour or so ago where the healer died to the first round of mechanics and TBN, Oblation, the melee's Bloodbath, and some pots for self were plenty to see us through.
