I don't use Dooming Darkness or Invoke fear very often. They aren't necessary for a better SK experience tbh.

The problem with longer duration fears is you increase the odds of the mob running into another mob.

It's better to use your short duration fear so you can control where the mob is going. Invoke Fear isn't really more mana efficient either. 3 short duration fears is 120 mana for 54 seconds of fear vs 100 mana for 42 seconds of fear. If the mob is undead, you can use Spook the dead, which only costs 10 mana per cast.

Dooming Darkness is useful in some very tight areas where you need the mob to run as little as possible, but you can get away with Engulfing Darkness in a lot of places. That's another reason why blood ember gauntlets are so good. Dooming Darkness also isn't as mana efficient as casting two Engulfing Darkness (less total snare duration), so I don't like to use it unless I have to.
