Doomcryer or Spectral Dancer

I'm a lv 97 Hierophant and I'm currently bored with the class. It's great, but not for what I'm doing, which is grinding to 99 with a lot of solo'ing (hey it beats staring at the AH). So between the 2 classes, which one is best dps for solo pve? SD is easy to read the skills, but for doomcryer: how much MP does the toggle drain per tick? And what kind of damage does the DOT do in pve at 97?

On paper it looks like DC gets the best of both worlds (Patk AND defense) when he can keep the toggle up. I don't know what to make of the DOT. Is it like Feoh's Death Breath? or way less powerful? The SD's little BR isn't that impressive, but Medusa was always fun to have.

Help!

Thanks!
Well I went with Spectral Dancer. The personal BR gets higher levels so it's actually pretty good. I couldn't find a use for the Doomcryer's War Cry mdef/pdef because I think his mp would be better spent on heals.
If you kill fast and do aoe the better choice is doomcryer, because there is a lot of mana herbs dropping.
If you do pagan solo (or other spots) maybe dancer is better.
But at the end you'll hit 99 and the playstyle will get different :)
