Why does Retaliation counters gain TP but not MNK's counter?

I guess thats my point if you are counter tanking why not just go /war.

Mnk/Nin is a decent compromise for things that aren't complete trash, yet aren't AV. I'll use it if I'm fighting Alfard, or Pantokrator. I don't fulltime shadows, though. That's a huge drop in DPS. I just fulltime counterstance and then cast Ni whenever it's applicable (inc TP move, single-target spell, or when I have to turn).
