PLD Cooldown rotations for every fight in FCoB?

I am starting to progress through FCoB, 3rd phase in t12 and soon to be on T13 and I just wanted some quick advice about this due to the fact that you don't really have time to theory craft about this type of stuff in the middle of a learn party. So

T10: What does everyone use?
I tend to OT this fight, so I save Bloodbath til the add phase just because there is absolutely no point in using it when you're not taking damage, so I will usually pop a Foresight/conv/bloodbath for the adds and then I'll just swap between Rampart or Sentinal for every Critical Rip.

T11: For this I'm usually MTing and since there's no tank buster for me I generally just loosely rotate my cooldowns to ease the healers.

T12: I'm still learning this fight, so for now I've been taking the first bennu. What I'll do is Conv/foresight/bloodbath for the bennus (it will be up literally every time you tank a bennu) and then I'll drop a ramparte+awareness for every revelation.
tips for 13 would be great!

T10 convalescense is enough for the adds but yeah blood bath and foresight are fine too.

Rampart and bulwark for first rip. Sentinel for the rip during phase 2. Then in the last phase bulwark and ramp for first. HG for second.

T11 stay in sword oath and pop CDs leading up to head. For rampart you can use it right when the first missile lands. For sentinel use it after the missiles are done.

T12 any CD is fine for revelation so standard CD rotation is perfect. I just pop convalescense for the bennu.

You really can't rely on other tank's CD timings in FCoB because there are so many different styles of who tanks what (some do PLD MT, WAR OT, some do WAR starts the fight then PLD takes over after all his CDs are up, some do PLD MT in Sword Oath ... etc) and more importantly, your group's DPS timing will determine how many tank killer attacks will come out and you'll want to adjust accordingly. This applies to every turn.

The best advice I can give is to get a feel for how many mechanics will come out for your group's DPS, go into ACT, and get a time frame of the Critical Rips/Second Heads/Revelations and work with your group to get a rotation going including Viruses and what your WAR will take.

T13 depends on the group.

My group WAR takes first flatten then I tank the rest.

2nd - sent
3rd - conva and bulwark right after the single breath then rampart before flatten.
4th - HG

Pain - awareness
Storm - bulwark ramp first, sent if you get a second DS

Ahk
1st - ramp, convalescense
2nd - WAR HGs, provoke during the 3rd breath
3rd - ramp, convalescense
4th - HG
5th - ramp, sent, convalescense

Phase1
1 Flatten : HG
2 Flatten: Setting
3 Flatten: (Really? My dds are Bad and they should feel Bad) Foreight ( only because our dmg is so high that we only get 2 flattern. If we get 3th flattern it will only be the First attack Part from flattern Which is physixal)

Phase2
1 flatten : RampArt
2 flatten: forseight + conva(because flatten is physical the First Part and then only one flame breath)
3 flatten: Rampart

Phase3.
1 Death sentence : Rampart
After death sentence Use bollwork to help your healer
2 death sentence: forseight

Phase 4
1 ark mor: sentinel + conva
2 ark mor: warrior holmgang
3 ark mor:Rampart conva
4 ark mor: HG
5 ark mor: Everything left.

I mean sentinel After HG first flatten

Is sentinel up again for ahk 5?

Ahk 5 is the only dangerous one so I save sent for it.

Yes. Will be ready

Cool so if a group is skipping the second DS the PLD should sword oath the first ahk with sent and rampart up. WAR can prob drop defiance as well.

You people are insane. Taking akh morns out of def/shield oath? Why in the holy fuck do you want to put so much pressure on your healers?
