dont forget oppressive gloom uses your own health to power it for every tick per enemy in the pbaoe. could hurt you if you dont pay attention. otherwise /dark is good. Personaly i went with /electric you dont have to worry about end and Lightning reflexes is indeed a nice boost to recharge.

the self dmg on oppressive gloom is almost negligible since it does ticks of like 1 dmg per opponent, even with the powers cap of opponents it would still be doing less than 20 dmg which most of which should be caught by your own regen|

the power itself is great because it has a very low base end cost so no real loss to run it

good point, though generally health with a slot or two, especially with a numina proc slotted in it balances out the loss from gloom. and with that becoming an inherent soon, it makes it easier to take physical perfection for a bit more regen if I need it. but I am leaning a bit towards electric as that's one set I haven't played yet. I do have a dual blade/dark but even with it, I went more towards the defense side than resist.

after creating several heavily IO'ed defense builds, I want to try a heavy resistance based build and the new KM set seems to fit right into that idea with all the -dam attached to its attacks. looking over the secondaries, it looks like dark or elec might mesh well but want to get feedback from anyone that has played either set.
with elec - you get good s/l, max eng, decent neg en, f/c and psi resists. no coverage for toxic. also get good debuff resist to slows, endur drain and recharge. along with reflexes to speed up your own attacks, should be easier to max out recharging SP. between stuns in the primary and end drain in the secondary, you should have reasonable mitigation
with dark - you get decent s/l and f/c, good neg en, some eng and toxic and great psi resists. oppressive gloom's stun should mesh well with the stuns in KM's attacks and you have a pretty decent heal power.
comments, suggestions, ideas on either combination would be appreciated
thanks
