Respec out of it for Petrifying Gaze (which is awesome). It's only good for random laughs and griefing PUGs. as a Thugs/Dark you have too many better power picks to afford the wasted choice in Black Hole. *Speaking from experience as a level 50 Thugs/Dark and stuff*
Black Hole is there so you aren't forced to get all the Dark powers since the rest are all great.
Petrifying Gaze is a standard hold. But a standard hold is very useful for taking worrysome Lieuts and minions out of a fight before they do something nasty.
For the record, Petrifying Gaze is also awesome because you get another hold from your Patron Power Pool to stack it with, to perma-Hold any annoying bosses you come across (except specific ones like Fortunata...).
Pretty fun to watch a Gunslinger Boss hover about with Petrifying Gaze and Soul Storm stacked on him. Alternatively, you can take out two lieuts or minions with the two Holds. This'll make your /Dark MM very controlly, which is a good thing in my opinion. The two Holds are a rather important part of my personal playstyle.

Pssst, 3 holds. The always-awesome Fluffy comes with one too, although god knows who he'll cast it on 
My Necro/Dark currently has 4-5 of the things thanks to all the pets (depending on how many Spirits I have out), without Epics.
Just wanna say thanks for your help guys with regard to the heads up!, yeah its respecin out as soon as i can find a respec team on union cov,"Black Hole" hmmm, was expecting worms holes to morph out of the air, to eat the heart of the enemy leaving its rotten carcass baron, with their entrails laid waste on the pavement,instead i got a cosmic fart,
oh well should have asked before i went with my heart and not listen to the mind..!!

How well will Black Hole work on Tankers in PvP?
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Even if it worked at its optimum capacity,the best it would do to a tank is make him float in the air and intangible,so no one can hurt it,i was wonderin if there was a power to stack with black hole,that harms an enemy as the info kinda insinuates that something from a differant plane can,or somethin to that effect,(does the dark servant start droppin psychic licks on its batty),all i can say is have a look,if you ever get a chance,maybe im barkin up the wrong tree,and it is just a cac power.must be someone who has it in their build and uses it,i dunno !!!
Blackhole, like Wormhole, is a power to be used only if the fan gets covered with the brown stuff. It isn't to be used on every mob and if you're lucky you only need it once, but really by the time you get it those times should be avoidable or handled.
Took the Hole on my Corr, took it off my Corr near enough same day. There is always a bad/notusedasmuch power in a set, this is that power. Personally I'm just glad to hear a Miasmist MM took other powers from the set, I've seen too many with Grasp and Fluffy, yeah..so helpful.
Speaking of which Fluffy adds nothing to Black Hole, in fact Sod's Law of Fluffy Dynamics states that Fluffy is more likely to waste its time attacking Intangibled foes than it is with the guys shooting at you.
Regarding PvP - Intangibility is one of the lesser resisted mezzes. At 49 my Son/Son took Sonic Cage (for lack of anything else to take) buuuuuut it only takes one-shot for AVs even with the triangles pointing up (how odd) so a team can clear the mob cleanly before assaulting the big bad.
I assume PvP has all sorts of changes for this type of power, but last I checked no one gets any protection points for it, so duration is likely cut down? Not entirely sure.

I figured that putting Tanks out of action can lead to open holes in PvP teams.

Hi!!
I usually only role tanks ,scrappers,and blasters,as im not realy into defenders,trollers,corruptors,or dominators,so it kinda wipes out half my A.T. choice,
however recently i rolled a thug/dark miasma MM,enjoyin it so much i never put him down as its a far cry from my usual role in a team,you know the usual straight in there approach biff baff boom...so there i am grabbin new toys left right and centre,i get to the last two powers on my miasma secondary,DUN DUN DUH! "Black Hole"..get it in the slot tray aim, waitin for the answer to the universe to materialise in front of me for that feelin of completeness,as its the 2nd to last power to get before dark servant,and what happens err nothing too much except savin the enemy from bein dotted to death by myself of course,
the question i put before you is "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO WITH BLACK HOLE" it seems like a proper pants power!perhaps someone can enlighten me to its true purpose as im a lil confused at the minute and will respec it out asap,i know i should have got petrifying gaze dammit!!
