I personally do not have a Darrion, but have faced many. So all these are only based on observation and a little theory.

Darrion - Holy Defender
A walking fortress who boast the highest DEF among all heroes even among his other jobs. He can also substitute any Healer who does not have the cleanse effect since he can do it himself and more frequently. A 25% of his DEF boost to everyone in his aura is very significant, you'll see a lot less damage taken by everyone with normal attacks and skills thanks to the major update which now allows DEF to provide magical defense. He can hold the line very well in PVP, even while debuffed on a tile (If you can get there first).

Darrion - Paladin
This job is perfect if paired with the Royal Huntsman which in this case makes him very PVE oriented. Not only does he absorbs a portion of the damage taken by others but also returns another portion to his attackers if his skill is active. He can pretty much be doing this indefinitely due to taunts and the Royal Huntman's mis-direct skill, but I don't know if the effect is lost when transitioning between waves, so be careful. 

Darrion - Chaos Knight
The least popular job among the other three, perhaps the entire game. Because he is almost bad at everything. The Holy Defender and Paladin has better DEF & HP than the Chaos Knight, and the Blood Knight has better self sustainability. Chaos Knights effectively cease to be useful once his skill kicks in and separates himself from others. He is slightly more offensive built than others because of his aura. But realistically, if he moves away, others will have to follow him to get the benefit. The problem is he can tend to move pretty far if he ever uses his skill. I did say almost, because in PVP he can still be useful if anyone can look past his downsides. If you happen to lose the tile to your enemy in PVP because you moved too slow and whoever is there won't budge, then this job can be your saving grace by swapping him with the other and stay there.

Darrion - Blood Knight
If you want more survivability without Healers, Blood Knight is the job to go to. This job can ensure better survivability for everyone on the front lines in his aura. He can shine almost everywhere due to self sustainability with heals from both his aura and skill. Although not as hardy as the first two jobs, his unique heals can compensate for the lower DEF. He is also slightly more offensive built than others.

*Note that all 4 jobs have the taunt skill which I have left out. It's pretty straight forward, take all the heat in PVE. You can even turn this situation to your advantage by utilizing jobs who have auras that trigger's upon others getting hit for various advantages (Example would be Warlocks, and Kiera the Mind Warder)
*The preferred faith for Darrion would be Kratos since all his skills and some auras utilizes the DEF stat, which also makes him all the more defensive.
*Since you have Darrion with Zeus faith, I'd recommend taking a more offensive side of him (Chaos Knight or Blood Knight). But if you want him in a different job, It's not bad. You can also re-roll his faith if you wish or wait for the feature to get a revamp which is in progress.
