Fantastic amount of information contained in this paper:
http://uk.arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-ph/pdf/0404/0404175.pdf

Its long, but everything you 'dont' know about Dark Matter is contained in this interesting overview.

Takes a while to load because of its size, but its well worth it, authors are:

Gianfranco Bertone1, Dan Hooper2 and Joseph Silk2
