2 things. First off, if you're doing real content your healers aren't going to have "free" GCD's to cast esuna to remove a debuff you put on yoruself that's really of little consequence. And again, this is an example of WAR skills making it more difficult for the rest of your party, not for the warrior themselves. You're not relying on YOUR skill to make good use of Berserk. You are relying on other people.

Point two, you would be incredibly stupid to prefer Berserk to Fight or Flight.

Fight or Flight is slightly less damage increase lategame (30% for FoF, 35-40% with berserk), but it has the same cooldown, no downside, and 10 second longer duration. Fight or Flight works out to 10% increased DPS/Enmity if used on cooldown. Berserk works out to about 3-4% if used on cooldown.

Unchained is another example of a skill that's not only less potent, but also carries a bunch of situational downsides. Berserk and Unchained combined don't match the contribution to damage that fight or flight gives you.

So again, it's not about "using the skills better". It's just about the skills being objectively significantly worse, and having usage complications on top of being worse.

In short, you really don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you just haven't thought about it that much. You might think the mechanics are better, but the argument you're making is akin to someone saying they would prefer to do 8 dps instead of 10 dps. It's nonsensical in terms of game mechanics.
