Do I really need to do the math to prove sange isn't worth using AGAIN?
Melee attacks are better than sange.
Melee attacks are better than throwing.
Melee attacks are better than the ninja elemental damage spells.
Any questions?

Also; If something has hate reset you're doing it wrong by either A. Having anyone other than a single WHM accumulating enmity with the NIN by curing the NIN, in which case 1 provoke is enough to bring the mob back to the NIN after the hate reset move or B. Not having a cotank who isn't horrible.
In which way are you doing it wrong in your example?
