From my experience with both weapons, The Dark Sword is generally better all around, especially for charge damage, which is what you should be using this weapon for. However, I've just recently obtained the Plasma Sword, and after using it, I'd argue it's much better for charge damage. It does have 5 less damage (120 compared to 125), but the critical rate and critical damage modifiers greatly make up for it (15 compared 5, and 200% compared to 150%).

The trade-off becomes whether you would like to have consistent damage, or if you would rather have slightly less damage (And I literally mean SLIGHTLY, nearly unoticeable) with the potential of ridiculously high damage.
