I am running a biamp rig with my HX stomp, which eats DPS like crazy. I have a Darkglass B1K I am exploring as part of my signal chain, and wondered how people here would place it.

BiAmping with a Darkglass B1K?

Because I’m unoriginal and want the wisdom of the crowd!
When you say "biamping", are you sending lows (below 300 Hz, or so) to a separate cab (like a 1x18 sub) via crossover?
If so, I would consider placing the b1k after the crossover on the mid-to-high frequency side. This is sort of similar to what their X series pedals do internally.
Having said that, the B1k is probably designed to not turn your lows to mush, so you could probably place it before the crossover as well.
The only configuration that strikes me as not a great idea would be to place it after the crossover on the subwoofer side, but can't say for sure.
It doesn't matter. The b1k has a clean blend. Place it wherever it sounds best, including prior to the split early in the chain. The later is how I'm using mine in my crossover rig.
