Dark/Dark good?

Thinking about making a dark/dark stalker, has anyone tested this powerset out and can give me some feedback on some of the strengths and weaknesses. If i do make a stalker it will be mainly for PvP so i would be more interested on that aspect.

Thanks

Main problem I can see with /Dark stalker is the set is based around reduction and not avoidance. Stalkers work best when they don't get hit as they can recharge hide and pull off a placate crit easily. Dark would suffer from the same drawbacks as regen, namely everything hits so you get interrupted a lot.

I'm working on a dark / regen stalker not really fussed with AS and leaving it out. It's purely going to be an annoying 'WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE?!' character that works well with buffs and whatnot in prolonged fights ^^

Dark/Dark as a i see it.

Bad side
-No defense(as Radiant pointed) --> less hiding
-35% average resist(more for Neg less for Nrg) that is good but--> Brutes get 1499 HP at lvl 50 ,stalkers 1017 HP so that 35% gives nowhere near brutes
-COF/OG unhides you when used(just the visibility,you can still crit if youre fast enough).
-Not a real big hit aside from AS(best you can get is 2 DOT's that are 6 on BI - Shadow Maul and Midnight Grasp - one of them have an awfull activation time - you miss with SM you are ******).
-Lack of attacks:aside from AS,SM And MG you just have the tier 1,tier 2 powers(you dont win fights based on the tier 1 or 2 powers - most ppl skip one or both for PVP).Considering Siphon Life as an attack(although has more or less the same BI as the tier 1 attack) is a matter of debate.
-The heal has a to hit roll,and AOE(20 ft) radius and incredibly high end cost(33% of your endurance).It is not fitted for PVP.If youre gonna heal you got to be near the enemy(if you are a stalker that need to heals....run from the enemies!!)
-Secondary effect -ACC(the way the to hit formula is) is not a "OMG!!this is the pawnzor" effect(in fact disorent,-rch -spd,-def are all better than this...even claws if we consider its low end low recharge as its secondary effect)
-Personal(me),individual and specific matter: the noise is unbearable

The bad part,now the good part:
-Fear on Touch of Fear and Clock of Fear.Fear is gold for PVP and is platinum and diamonds specifically for a stalker.
-Howling Twilight - an AOE 15 sc disorent of magnitude 35(this means it will get through standar mezz protection 10.38 plus and will get through this plus an external mezz protection buff).The best /Dark receive from my point of view.Bad side is...you gotta be dead
-Most Negative damage wich is(aside from toxic DOT of spines) the less resisted of all stalker sets.
-You can make a Vampire that fits real cool with a Dark/dark stalker and start sucking......muahhaaaa!.

I see a vampire as more Dark/SR

Errr... whaaa?

yeah yeah I must wake up before post.
(editing for understanding of The_private post: the power I describe is ST not HW)

dark is awesome and all you lot who say it dosn't have defence really need to go get a good hero planner as it does and its almost 30%.
So wake up and smell the darkness

how 30%?
Hide + shadow dweller + what??

Besides: since COV prima guide I dont know what to believe:shields are 12.5 like planner says or 13.87 like prima guide says? hide is 7.5(planner) or 3.25(Prima)? Theres a LOT of inconsistencies

Dont trust prima guide.

i stand corrected.
A build i have planed has 13% def which is more than enough.
I do have to admit tho dark/dark is very good even tho the low def.
During the event i had a fight v granite tank and won, also V a regen/spines scrapper and won .. V invul/ss tank and won.. don't count it out as its resist as those resists are good.
35.1% toxic res
35.1% S/L res
Thinks its time to go hunt the silly spine scrappers me thinks

Could you post your build, I'm very interested in a effective one like yours. Mine is horrible.
