I do around 280 and almost exclusively do SP/SE. P1 I'm always out of Defiance unless I'm doing a main head, in add phase and last phase it is extremely rare that I would drop defiance. The extra healing and mitigation you get from IBs makes your healers' job a lot easier. I'd recommend that for now you push your DPS hard in and out of defiance only in P1, and then do your best to max dps in defiance 100% in P3. @ 10,500 all you need to survive a Main Head is Inner Beast, so rotate the rest of your CDs when your healers are dealing with mechanics.
Boss doesn't use resonance inbetween the time frame that I pointed out, only reason why I would suggest dropping Defiance. Pushing WAR dps is all about pushing your limits anyway lol
