Here's a basic template for Darkness dps, using Conc/Ego and NW as the passive (obv Shadow Form works fine and has some diff 2ndary effects, but for pure dps NW can be better for single targets due to ERuin being a long charge):

Ideal ST rotation is to put up Devoid w/ charged SBlast, then use Dimensional Collapse on cd while charging ERuin as your main filler. AoE could be SEmbrace or Shade Storm (SEmbrace has a nice self-heal adv now, but Shade Storm is higher base dps), though I prob wouldn't get both as that's a bit redundant. Can also charge SBlast on Feared targets for a stun, if you want. Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Con and Rec.
You can add other things, like Lifedrain, Summon Shadows, another AO, an Ult, a threat wipe, SEruption w/ advs, Soul Vortex, Grapsing Shadows w/ heal adv, Ebon Rift w/ advs, etc.. There's many decent options; just depends on what else you value.
