I've been doing SC's for a while now as a pools terra. I've been using:
Deadly paradox
SF
EBSoH
Glyph of lesser energy
Sliver Armor
Radiation Field
I am unstoppable
Dark escape
This build works fine for me, but normally I need a cupcake to help outrun blacknesses (and just go faster in general). Recently someone introduced me to a build that subs death's charge for I am unstoppable. I was wondering how this build works; where do you need to DC to to avoid blacknesses? I hear this variation is slightly faster, and I've been meaning to try it out, but I know people will get pissed if I use a build I'm not experienced with during a real SC and die.

with dark escape and i am unstoppable, you can outrun them and if they shock you, you don't get knocked down, and only take half damage from it. The reason to take dweaths charge is to shadow step over past them and get a heal so they cannot get to you as fast. I personally like the i am unstoppable one.

Uhh that vid doesn't help much, it actually seems slower than the build I use, just by looking at the bar.

So here's the flat out question:
Can the build with DC be faster, and if so, where/when do I use DC (aka what do I need to DC onto to make it go faster than my original build?)

I use Feigned Neutrality instead of Dark Escape. Make sure you have Aeromancer insignias on at least your chest + legs if not all your armor and bring a +10vs lightning shield. Shock will do 19-30 dmg which should make it easier for you. Usually you use Deaths Charge on the terrorwebs on the opposite side of the room where the Queen spawns so you lose aggro of the charged. You can also use it to tele to the queen if needed.

Here are two video guides which I think will answer your question:
The first video uses dp, sf, glyph of lesser, rad. field, ebon standard, sliver, dark escape, and IAU.

The second video uses urals and dc instead of dark escape and IAU.

Both runs take about the same amount of time, so you can pick which is your style. The first build is easier to tank chaged, and the second build is easier if you have to cover pits.

In my video, I'm not going for speed but just showing how it's done. There's a tradeoff when you go for speed by taking less survival skills.

I've also added annotations to all of my videos so check it out .
