Turn off Grit, throw up Shadow Skin, and hit Blood Weapon for some extra deeps and MP regen.
It of course depends on the healer and the encounter, you might have a part of an encounter with no damage going out, but otherwise, dropping Grit is nooooooot wise. I do tend to drop it in encounters like the last boss in Vault when there's fireballs to be killed. Just be careful and don't make your healers sad.
As to the rest of the thread, I'm really enjoying DRK tanking. As a career-ish tank, I find it to be an interesting mix that keeps me from getting bored. I don't quite understand the hype for Dark Passenger though, as I feel it's quite pricey for a Blind that other classes can easily apply with far more efficiency. It's likely a DPS increase though.
