Here is just a really quick fix to fix your slotting.

Things to aim for between 45 and 47% defense to all positions, above 3.5 end/s recovery, above 230% passive regeneration, around 70% in recharge bonuses, and below 1.2 end/s endurance usage. I'd suggest taking a look at the link in my sig and learning about dark/shield's strengths and weaknesses, good luck !

If you're looking to farm, I'd suggest not going with DM, which is ST-focused. I would suggest FM/SD for a balance between ST and AoE, or if you want a dedicated farmer, then go Elec/SD.
