OP - as someone who is into zerocoin and dark wallets, do you know much about bitcoin tumbling? I've never used a tumbling service myself but it seems like tumbling might address issues of anonymity for those who want anonymity. What would get everyone else to switch over?

I think that being an early adopter of an innovative coin would cause cryptocurrency users to diversify into zerocoin, but not switch completely. I believe that Bitcoin will be here for the duration of cryptocurrency.

Is tumbling where the payment goes through various transactions before arriving at it's destination?

Yeah, it's just a way of laundering money by bouncing transactions around.

Tumbling could address anonymity issues, but who would want to send a payment through several transactions before the payment is secure enough when they could just use Zerocoin or make a payment with Dark Wallet? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dark Wallet jumbles your address for every transaction. Bitcoiners probably would use Dark Wallet or Zerocoin to send completely anonymous transactions.
