These are the sort of people who tend to believe adding more 'healers' is the solution to any encountered difficulty. A player who is looking for healers isn't going to value the contributions of a Dark because he won't understand them.

Fortunately, if I have ever met anyone with the kind of arrogance you describe on the EU servers, they have been mostly quiet about it. The one time I did feel slightly put out was when an Empath with Healing Aura on auto and following the Tank kept getting complimented for their healing. I took a quick AFK and came back to find the team dead. I didn't feel the need to say anything after that.

That was the original idea behind my Dark/Ice/Psi. I did some elementary number crunching and figured that I could generate roughly 60 mag of hold on a single target cycling those 4 holds with all of them fully slotted and Fluffy contributing as well. I was tempting to try to convince one of my other friends to build a similar toon just so we could perma-hold an AV even through its PToD.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
Now I definatly want to move server!
I grabbed up a couple players to give them a run on my Dark Defender, and one of them speaks up and says mid mission, "Your theme is really cool, I think im going to steal it."
Ok, thats where I draw the line.Period.Copy my build if you want, but DO NOT steal my Theme!
I made my Dark Defender have a Atlantean look, like a fish man, or as close as one can get to that look with the costume options, gave him a shimmering glow, colored his powers to look like he is using water blasts, tenticals comming up from portals of water, and Tar patch looks kinda like a whirl pool.The heal looks like im sucking water and life from my enemy, and Dark Servant looks like a very convincing Water Elemental.I did a very nice job to make it look like I was using water magic, and not dark blasts, and someone openly tells me they will copy it?!
Thats just not nice!
I dont even wanna hear how I should be flattered!

But I also find the entire set of Ice Blast awkward and slow, so, for my money, you just doubled the awkward, not avoided it. Obviously, your mileage does vary.
...Your server needs a green team?
I'll admit that the animation times for dark are longish but the superior mitigation that it gives makes that a small issue.
Most people that find it akward find it so because the heal requires a to hit roll. Proper slotting resolves this issue. For the rest they see only the primary function of the powers in the set and fail to take into account the secondary effects of the powers.
The only thing that my Dark/Ice/Psi misses that my Dark/Dark/Dark has is the stacking AoE stuns and 100% chance of KB in Torrent. Stacked AoE slows and stacked single target holds makes up for it quite well though.
