Staying on the cusp of threat just so you can get a tiny heal every 20 seconds is pretty lame, and needless stress. When I provoke off another tank I use Kitru's rotation for some time and switch to Paikis's when tank swap is incoming, only I just alternate SP and SE, it's just easier and SP is the moreimportant buff to keep up anyway during lull phases where you have to switch off the main boss target and do other stuff. This is just so I don't Butcher's Block right as a provoke comes out.

Clean swaps are a big thing this patch in every single one of the Extreme Primals, and losing threat is often a wipe. If you could use Butcher's Block AT WILL, sure, SP>SE>SE all the time, w/e, but you can't, it's a combo. The trouble isn't DPS pulling aggro anymore, it's the other tank. Although, if all you do is use non-enmity-bonus combos while you're tanking, you're just giving back less proportional enmity to the other tank each time and forcing them to deal with the creeping DPS's enmity bars, which is kinda unfair too.
