WP and Dark are both tough. They both subscribe to the school of thought 'If you haven't killed me in X amount of seconds, you *can't* kill me.'
Dark has better resistances. WP has better defense. As a result WP is easier to get high defense slotted in, making it much more user friendly. HOWEVER, with a lot of effort you can get your defenses pretty high on Dark armor as well.
Once you do the superior base numbers on the resistance sets (not just dark, elec as well, and invulnerability to an extent) begin to favor them.
That gets into expensive and complex builds, though. For going from level 1 to 50, zero to hero, getting all the badges on the way - I'd give the nod to WP. It's a smoother ride. And has knockback protection built in.
Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."
Thank for the info did go for WP gives a look as a normal person so far i like it ^^

I just want to mention that my Claws/Dark brute turned out to be a veritable beast, what with a damage aura and Fury + Follow Up to boost it.
Hell, even Dark Regeneration seems to do decent damage.
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I will try a claw/dark later 
a none badging AT to have fun with teams.
This is my current live build for my claws/dark, thanks to Dechs for help getting me over the s/l softcap:

Code:
I can attest to the sturdiness of the toon. Exemping is something of a consideration, but not too terrible if you're willing to spring for minimum level procs in health, dark regen, and stamina. Give me a holler if you're on virtue and want to see the toon in action.
