    If you read my posts, you would understand I agree.
    Is the fight one where Fracture has no impact on your TP pool or Enmity isn't an issue?
    Use it.
    Fracture is AWESOME.

    But if you feel you're restrained?
    Don't use it.
    You don't lose too much.

All this does is change the rate at which abilities occur. It has no bearing on damage or threat over the long term. All that matters is efficiency in the long term. Period.
    It is entirely relevant because cost is greater than gain.
    A cost of 30, is going to have a greater impact over a cost of 70 or 60.
    Even over the course of 12 GCD's, it will still have an impact.
    Will it harm threat? No. That's only an issue of being undergeared.
    WIll it harm damage? Not really. Whether you do use Fracture or don't. Your damage won't fluctuate greatly.

    That is a false statement.
    Fights such as Titan are long, and have minimal downtime and TP pool does become an issue.
    If you are a tank who i utilizing a GC weapon, or even using an Ifrit weapon, you don't want to use that TP on a low enmity ability.
    Its better to put it towards your enmity building which is more important and cost effective.

    Like I said, I disagree with the idea that the cost is irrelevant, but I agree with you on its tp/damage efficiency.
    If Kitru made an error that is fine, but it doesn't really change the fact that he did agree Fracture is TP/DMG efficient, but more costly in terms of TP.
    If you feel the tp pool doesn't matter that is fine, but from personal experience, there are cases where its best to stay as TP pool efficient as possible.
