The currently Dark does not feel like it has an identity. Many of the player base feel like it is a mimic of Warrior. We would like our own identity. There are two DPS designs in the game, Direct Damage and Damage over time. A damage over time tanking style is doable in the current meta. My suggestions for this style of tanking are as follows.
