It's not arbitrary. You're almost never going to actually bottom out your TP when you've got empty GCDs; you're going to get empty GCDs when you've just got too little which is where the 950 comes from for the reasons previously mentioned.
    It is completely arbitrary as you've been using averages for everything up to this point and suddenly don't want to use averages. Additionally, it doesn't necessarily stop at 50. You need to run out a cycle to determine where it does stop. If you have 60 TP and the last ability usage is a 60 TP ability, it stops at 0. If you have 60 TP left, and the ability costs 70, it stops there. Furthermore, there is no net consumption. It is a fictitious creation you've conjured up to make it easier to work with numbers. TP is 60 / 3 seconds. You can't net a real cost against an income that hasn't been realized.

    Just stop, Fracture is worth using. Stop changing and twisting your reasoning to support the exclusion of Fracture.
