This. Even in Garlaige parties back in the day I never had a problem landing Trick Attack. Every party I was in was willing to make a SA/TA lineup and went with it.

Also I don't know any player who willingly wants to avoid a Trick Attack, for any reason, and I can't think of one. In Abyssea I have our BLMs or BRDs for seal parties stand in front of me when I'm solo tanking so I can Trick Attack them constantly for Treasure Hunter, and no one complains.

And as a WAR myself, I want hate on me all the time to maximize damage, for the reasons noodles mentioned too. Losing hate is so easy right now anyway, that it doesn't really require much action on the THF's side in either way. Also, TA+WS is bad in most cases, since I'm guessing you want higher Treasure Hunter as well. And normal Trick Attack damage isn't so high that anyone else can't get it back in no time. Especially if it's a DD you're using it on, chances are their enmity was capped to begin with.

For that matter, the same applied to landing Sneak Attack. It's really not hard in most cases, spinning mobs may screw up your timing, but it still works in most cases, as long as you watch people swing and pay attention.
