Would allies also get the 10% increase against the marked target? I like that idea because it would make Nightblade a key role in group content, but in that case 10% is likely too much. A unique 5-6% damage taken debuff would be great, similar in benefit to Zen's or Minor Vulnerability while stacking with both.

Ideally it would be that allies don't get the buff. If allies get the buff that's yet another nerf to NB DDs as you would only want to have a nightblade healer to apply the buff. Nightblade DDs are lacking damage by 10% from other DDs so they themselves need a selfish buff to damage. Also that would kill the reason to have a necromancer in group which would also then push another tangent. Just buffing the class to be the same as other classes damage-wise is the solution.

I was under the impression that NB is top-tier DPS in PVE, so long as you have the right sets and were good at your rotation. Sure, it required you to give yourself carpal tunnel to get top tier DPS, but it was top tier.

Am I wrong? If I'm wrong I concede, I've always wanted some PVE nightblade buffs, but conceded that it would just further increase the top end if there were any buffs, since god knows I'm not going to destroy my hands just to do what I can do on my Arcanist with just a couple buttons... But if it is under performing, then by all means, give it some buffs. I'd love to use Swallow Soul again as a main spammable for example.

Nope, in PvE nightblades have one of the lowest single target damage when running max gear / skills. Even templars can do more damage in content single-target. That's not counting that templars can use jabs to do WAY more damage when tanks stack the ads / minis.

This is another thread from last week where I also participated, a few ideas where also mentioned there and it would feel dumb to repeat them:
