I think you just found out why I like energy melee with dark armor so much. It's fun to play as a melee character that can turn big bosses into stumbling, helpless drunkards.
Yeah, dark armor is pretty good. On top of the biggest self-heal in the game, my tank is dark/dark so he's also got a self-heal as part of his attack chain. The only rough spot is the endurance usage but it can be addressed. I have 10 toggles on this guy.

/\ Yup. But dual slot impervium armors in your res toggles, put the +end proc in a 4th stamina slot, some extra +recovery bonuses where you can fit them, (hint: many stun sets give +recovery) and it won't be an issue.
Tell me about it. I have the Performance Shifter proc and Stamina fully (3) slotted.
AFTER that, I have an additional 45.5% recovery. That includes 2 uniques, set bonuses and Physical Perfection (which I really took for the regen). Having that crazy amount of recovery let me take Focused Accuracy as my 10th toggle.

My Dark/Regen has one in each of Quick Recovery and Stamina. Dark Ring Mistresses and Even Sappers give her little trouble.

Yes, and one of the healing sets has a +end proc that people like to slot in Dark Regeneration. At this point, I don't need either. I took Physical Perfection for the regen; I was already in fine shape on the endurance. I have Dark Consumption heavily slotted but rarely need it.
With all the different procs and set bonuses, you can reach a really crazy level of endurance recovery.

My DA/DM Tank has that proc in both DR and SL, and since the latter is part of my attack chain it goes off constantly. In fact, I plan to slot that proc into SL on all my /DM Tanks since there's no such thing as 'too much Endurance'

It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Joined a task force last night whose lead tank was a Dark/. I was on a Spines/Dark Scrapper myself.
When we stuck together, our two Oppressive Gloom toggles stunned all the bosses too -- especially nice against Paragon Protectors.
Since Dark Regeneration can repair any level of damage short of outright death, any situation where he could survive the alpha for a second was completely dominated.
That was entertaining in a "cruel cat toying with its victims" way.
