At 51 DRK on Judge, I run all of these and Mercy Stroke as my fifth, and it works well enough for me. And means you DON'T need to level PLD/WAR to 50. I just had WAR at 50 so I could unlock DRK right away when HW dropped. I only leveled PLD enough to get Provoke, as has has been mentioned.
It's definitely fun - though the sheer length of the DoT makes me keep thinking it needs refreshing when it doesn't - and I certainly feel like I'm putting out substantial damage when tanking, even without dropping Grit. In fact, the only reason I could see dropping it at all right now is to pop Blood Sword if I need some MP fast and everything else is down.
