I tried to give put in some decent defenses against smashing and lethal, since those are everywhere, plus energy, since that's the weakest resistance DA has. Also added in some knockback protection (of course).

I dropped ToF, which I'm somewhat worried about, I'm hoping the IOs plus Physical Perfection will handle all my endurance issues.

Any thoughts?

I'd suggest sending a PM to Desmodos. He/She is the best I know of when it comes to DM/DA builds.

I could help on a Sword/DA build, but Des knows the ins and outs of DM/DA better.

I've got good enough positional defence values with this build plus endurance is not an issue for me. I took Darkness Mastery for concept purposes plus having foes immobilized with TT prevents them from wandering when stunned by OG and provides me with targets for Dark Regeneration, however Body Mastery would help on endurance management and Energy Torrent is great dmg mitigation if you prefer going Body Mastery. For me an important detail towards survival on my DM/DA was getting the +HP accolades. Here you are my build in case you can get some ideas from it that might help you. I know my attack chain is not optimal but it's not bad for my slow playstyle. Been thinking lately about getting rid of Dark Blast and respeccing in Night Fall for more AoE goodness but I guess my ST attack chain couldn't afford it.
