Even more important than the percent of cacao in dark chocolate is how it is processed and what kinds of sweeteners are used. There is a company that produces non-alkalized cocoa products that is sweetener with low-glycemic sweeteners and has no processed sugars, no preservatives, waxes, fillers nor bad fats. Just 3 pieces of this decadent dark chocolate gives you the equivalent of 10 - 12 servings of raw fruits and vegetables (and about 1000 flavanoids) for as little as 100 calories. There is a great article on the difference between "good" chocolate and "bad" chocolate at cocoa101.com.
