Also, with the cooldown, just because you're asking for Goad doesn't mean it is available.

I definitely don't see any reason to be lazy with Goad though. It's instant, just use it. The blind TP issue isn't really an issue because NIN is a TP using DPS so you should be able to roughly gauge what situations are resource intensive. You shouldn't be waiting until someone actually runs out of TP and screams for it. It'a a gradual replenishment.
Had this discussion with sum of the nin in my fc, the gen feeling is that you should have *some* idea when a goad might be helpfull (example: huge pulls that force a melee to use aoes or anytime you have a war in the party) instead you have a legion of narutards who just dont.
