CoF I've found quite useful on my Dark/ Tank as a form of damage mitigation. Excellent on the ITF and LGTF, gl EM/Dark is pretty high end cost.

Yeah, it's called serious enhancement investment. You'll probably want accuracy, to-hit debuff, and endurance management. If you take CoF and only use the default slot prepare to be unimpressed. You'll need to learn how to juggle the endurance cost of the power as well since you might get overwhelmed if you run death shroud too.
I've always been a fan of CoF (even when targets ran away, but then again i just used provoke back then...). It's just not as gravy right out of the box as Oppressive Gloom.

cool, thanks. one other thing i was wondering. would the Dark Watcher's Despair set be worth looking at as well?

No, DW Despair has no accuracy and you need lots of it, like in my slotting.
