Three things jump out at me looking at this build:
1. Howling Twilight is under-slotted. This can be used pre-emptively as an AUTO HIT low mag stun (which stacks nicely with dark pit), AUTO HIT Slow/-Recharge, as well as the advertised team AoE heal.
2 A Veteran respec into leadership seems like a strong course of action. Assault is almost 20% additional damage for you and your teammates. Manuvers base defense is 3.5% across the board. Tactics provides 12.5% increase in to-hit, PLUS the boosted perception for the sneaky arachnos and resistance spawns.
3. I am not seeing the synergy right away from the power mastery powers. Some defender abilities such as EM Pulse, Accelerated Metabolism, the sonic, thermal, and forcefield buffs feature a strong synergy with Power Build Up. I tend to favor the dark mastery for my dark users or else electric mastery for endurance replenishment. Dark mastery features oppressive gloom, dark consumption and soul transfer, which I like on my nuking defenders. Dark pit + howling twilight + oppressive gloom would look <ahem> STUNNING on your defender.
Other minor quibbles: most of my /dark users take hasten for faster HT, TP, fluffy respawn, and nukes. Fluffy should take at least 5 of a nice accurate to-hit debuff set. His base PbAoE Chill of the Night debuff is ~30%. That is BIG. Almost all of the dark servant's powers apply tohit debuff as well. Putting a single slow in Tar Patch is more than ample, more is overkill. I don't like wasting accuracy components in it. I usually just slot two generic IO recharge reductions. I usually 6 slot shadow fall, pumping as much defense, resistance and kb protection as I can afford. Shadow fall is unusual in that it provides resistance to psionic damage; so slotting resistance pays off.
Finally, is there anything better than Spiritual for the incarnate alpha slotting of a Dark Defender?

Optionally you can also stick knockback protection IOs and/or a Steadfast Protection +3% Defense IO in it although depending on your build you may want to stick those in your Epic Pool shield.
This is my build, with leadership. Is not extremely expensive if you are willing to grind a few alignement merits. The only thing I miss is Petrifying Gaze, I will try to fit in when new Mids come with ATO sets, probably dropping recall friend
Hami-Os can be changed by any def/end IO

I posted my own DDDD build some time ago, here.
In my case, I felt the Fighting pool was unnecessary as long as I had good positional defense bonuses from IO sets, Shadow Fall, Hover and Tactics.

Yes, 3 defense, 3 resist IOs, mix in a little endurance with some kb resist. Feel free to improvise but 6 slots is what shadow fall craves.

A few thoughts that occur as I look as the build (without Mids unfortunately):
Dark Pit has rather low base accuracy, without more slots (or a lot of global accuracy) it will be very underwhelming and likely of little use to stack with your other stuns. OG on the other hand can be quite effective with just its base slot. I'd consider trying to rearrange slots to use the Absolute Amazement in Dark Pit rather than OG.
Without Mids I can't see your totals ... but I suspect the Kin Combats in Boxing are inf better spent elsewhere as overall you are mixing positional defense bonuses with typed defenses. Aim to focus on one over the other. Build on whatever native defense you have the most of.
Get the 5th Ragnarok in TT for the +recharge.
Gloom - slot a To Hit damage proc in here over the Apoc Damage, you'll average more damage as you are already well up against ED for damage. Procs bypass this limitation.
Have to run for now.
Drop SS and put a celerity proc in sprint, you will get full invis with sprint+shadowfall. I would also drop Dark pit. With these 2 slots you can get Soul Drain and Dark Consumption
I thought playing blasters and corruptors was always going to be my cup of tea. Boy was I wrong. I had no idea how much fun a defender could be, and as a natural support type person I simply love running my dark/dark defender but her build is certainly outdated. I hoped my husband would one day share my love of COX but that wasn't to be.
Hopefully one of you defender gurus might take a look at her old build and show me how to update her so I can play her to the fullest. Many, many thanks!
