I think you are right...
DPS:
Looking at the defensive DPS listed on the quick moves page, Pound comes out with a defensive dps of 3.45 when you take STAB into account, while Feint Attack maintains 3.95 dps.
Energy:
Even taking into account energy accumulation, Feint looks better. Calculating the defensive attack times from their listed defensive dps, it looks like Pound has 2.54s, giving 7 energy (2.76 eps), and Feint has 3.04s, giving 10 energy (3.29 eps).
Type Effectiveness:
Neither Dark nor Normal have any terrible weaknesses. The strength of Dark against Psychic is a little useful, even.
Summary: Feint Attack looks better in every way I could find to compare them.
