Two things:
1) Would be helpful to know what kind of budget you are working with? The better Dark Armor builds tend to be expensive.
2) While IO set bonuses are the point of IO builds, they don't generally replace basic slotting. In other words, you need to slot attacks with damage. Everything still needs adequate accuracy, endurance reduction, recharge, resistance ect.

Money isn't a huge issue, I've amassed quite a bit over the years, and have a small stockpile of purple and other good enhancements as well. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated!!

How attached to Darkness Mastery are you? I've always found MA/DA to be the most endurance intensive builds. Physical Perfection is a really good way to mitigate that. Another option would be to switch from CoF to OG. I strongly prefer CoF but there is no denying the cumulative benefits of MA's stuns with OG.
OK, this build won't be cheap but it will be pretty bad ***. Endurance will still occasionally be an issue, while running CoF.
If the sticker shock hits you, flip all the purples over and dump the PvP IOs. Move a slot to Dark Blast and finish off the set. That set up will net you more energy defense but make CoF less effective.
