I have a BeQuiet Dark Rock 2, but no backing plate. I saw 2 generic heavy looking ones for sale on Newegg, but they both got pretty meh reviews. Any one here know of a generic one I can buy on it's own that will support a big cooler like this?

You should probably ask BeQuiet support for the proper backplate. You might even get it for free.

And there is a decent probability that they will do that for you . . too. . . I occasionally buy Noctua accessories -- mounting kit conversions for newer sockets and so forth. It's not a lot of money, even if you have to pay.
