I think Dark Dark reaches its ultimate on the Brute.  It is easier to be survivable on the Tank but achievable on the Brute.  Like almost same survivability.  Then there is the fact that the Dark Armor “Tanks” really poorly.  Not in survivability, but in design.  Part of the survivability of Dark is the stealth field.  In survivability Def>Res>Heal.  Dark literally stands this on its head.   No defense or nearly none.  No defenses debuff resistance so worthless to build.  Instead Stealth, two toggles that do crowd control, massive to hit debuffs, and the best heal in the game.   But that stealth, non suppressed stealth.  Bad from a Tanker perspective.  Great on a Brute

I might use this once I can take a look at it. I haven't played mine in a long time and since there has been updates to the powers it would be a great time to update the build.

Found this thread but I’m not sure if you’re still around 2 years later… 

You mentioned that stealth was good on a brute but not on a tanker. I was wondering what is the advantage of stealth to a brute? And why is it not good on a tanker?

Well i had been slumbering in my coffin.  But since you woke me up… 

 

My favorite Tanker is an invulnerability/dark. Damned near unkillable.  But one year for winter i made an ice/ice theme tank.  It was insane how easy it was to tank, because everyone in the room hated him.  It was like people were telling people a hundred feet away to swarm the tank.  At least it felt that way. Lot of agro.  A lot.  
 

Dark Armor is stronger on a Tank. No doubt.  And the AoE increase is nice on Dark/Dark.  Very nice.  But since Dark Armor uses non suppressed stealth as a survival trick it acts the OPPOSITE of ice armor. Making it, in my mind, just more work to tank with.  Because i am a lazy old vampire.

And that's just you walking into the map!
