I was actually planning on giving DRK a serious chance when I got to HW this time around but threads like this and others just make me depressed.

Is WAR really the only Tank in a good spot right now?
The inverse, really. Warrior is ridiculous, but Paladin and Gunbreaker both have their respective "things" and all three feel meaningfully distinct from each other.

Dark Knight feels like it's trying to ape aspects of all three, and is doing it poorly. Whoever has been in charge of designing it for the last three expansions now must be doing it on purpose, because even sheer incompetence occasionally does right by accident.

The kicker? Sage was allowed to keep Eukrasia, meaning clearly they are not averse to the original Dark Arts functionality existing in the game. Hell, Warrior's Inner Chaos is essentially a more limited application of the same design. This strongly implies Dark Knight is not an accident.

I can only wonder who hurt that designer so badly that they're driven to these ends, and what force has allowed them to continually be inflicted upon the playerbase.

... Unless by "in a good spot" you mean "has competitive DPS output in high-end raiding," but if that's the case you and I are never going to be having the same conversation.
