To be honest.... little reason you should die as DRK in a abyssea party. Dark Seal, Drain and Drain II, Third Eye (/sam ftw for general stuff, /mnk for old style zergs), Dread Spikes, Stun... oh and if you're a Twilight Scythe owner thats a plus too. And frequent temps. And you are using Apoc, the amount of instant drains I've had helps even more.
I generally run around in the red on DRK espesh if half the parties AFK. Mix of play style and just damn simple luck that I lived most the time. And if you die you die. You are a DRK after all :)
Be warned skill ups are SLOW with scythe, prob as bad as sodding staff. In responce to your question, Hasso and Zanshin would prob do better than double attack. Looks like you are stacking up on double/triple attack anyway. If /war got access to retailiaion then it would be a whole different story.
But it will come, and in the interum, you get to look damn sexy doing it, and also damn mental =)
