Fight Tips
Dark Dragon is basically a copy-paste of Octomammoth's mechanics with a few small changes (only one target this time).
Like Octomammoth, the trial is completely toothless if you absorb the ST stuff with Veritas of the Flame. Give him provoke, evasion, and death immunity.
For the party, have someone mirage and nethicite every turn (like Wild Card Ace) to shut down the bosses attacks. Every 5th (phase 1) or 4th (phase 2) turn you want a second nethicite to stop the dispel.
Give your party 100 fire resist from gear or a buff and have fun.
The primary weakness is light, with earth as a secondary. In either element, bring Tsukiko and some GLEX DPS units and win in a few turns without any risk.
Wish I had more to say, but the JP trial design team stopped putting any effort into these 12-race trials and the last few are brainless. Things get more interesting in the future with the elemental grace trials at least.
Video Examples of the fight from JP
Here's my clear in JP where I just auto-battled this while AFK with 5 units:
