Because it's not like there are *ever* strats that are built around tanks using their uber-CD in situations that aren't emergencies (*cough*t4doubledread*cough*).

*You* can reserve your CDs so that you only use them in emergency situations, but some people prefer to actually use their CDs proactively so that they actually see use and affect mean performance rather than just outliers. Holmgang is up as often as PLD's Sentinel so I'm not entirely sure why you think it's risky for a WAR to use Holmgang but not for a PLD to use Sentinel since the CD is exactly the same. Using Hallowed Ground actually creates a more extreme example of problem you're describing because Holmgang only has a 3 min CD while Hallowed Ground has a 7 minute CD (which means that Hallowed Ground has a *way* bigger opportunity cost).
