    The single greatest offender is upping the recast from 15s to 25s. The short recast timer has more potential value than the Oblation proc you are trying to shoehorn in.

    For the longest time, the design idea for tanks is to not make defensives result in large, consistent amounts of damage or make defensives cost damage with no way to reimburse the loss for correct use. The removal of the MP cost would lead TBN to be a button you want to press nearly on cooldown because you turned it into a DPS gain for every break.

    Unless tank gameplay shifts across the board to make correct defensive usage result in direct DPS gain (beyond Vengeance), this is a hard pass.

    Aside from the obvious dps gain, removing the MP cost altogether removes the last bit of resource management DRK has left. They removed blood cost from Living Shadow, making blood now just a bloodspiller/quietus gauge. Your change would turn MP into a pure Edge/Flood of Shadow gauge. You'd literally kill the last interesting thing DRK has going for itself and as a long-time DRK main, you'd make me quit the job altogether.
    Hm, I agree on tbn about the edge (heh) I guess I really didn't think about the management of MP, then again you would get a greater mp gain with AD.
    But I think if I you put oblation on tbn under the 15s cool down timer, if you don't get damage then, you'd still get a proc of oblation.
    Which would still make it a pretty good defensive while keeping the management system of the 3000 mp. This way, you'd probably be able
    to do Oblation a lot more than just the 2 charges.

    Would be interesting, but in many cases where you TBN you also Oblation as an extra layer. So using the exact same buff could lead to unwanted overwriting or a buff that is redundant after the burst damage has already been dealt.

    If we seek inspiration, looking at Arcane Crest from Reaper to grant DRK a regen on self on shield break would sound interesting.
