With Berserk's pacification, Fell Cleave and Equilibrium, WAR has literally unlimited TP. I can go on a dummy for 5 minutes and come out at 1000 TP. I don't even drop to 740 (the point where you should pop Equilibrium) until nearly 3m in. As MT, WAR's TP conservation is almost as good, and there's nothing to stop you popping into Deliverance for a few GCDs to use Equilibrium if it really is a problem.
I could easily burn my TP when DPS testing my WAR pre HW. I lasted a bit longer because of Wrath attacks and pacify but eventually ran out. If I used Fracture it was even faster. Also we aren't talking about T10/11 because they are irrelevant at this point. The new classes were designed with what's coming in mind not what's behind.

Don't get me wrong, WAR will always have my heart. Played WAR/NIN in FFXI, played WAR in 1.0, played WAR at release when they were "garbage" and got through coil (minus T5, that took a while) just fine. Leveling my WAR now to be ready for Alex release, but DRK tanks just fine in all current content. I've yet to feel stressed, or feel like I'm taking to much damage compared to any other tank. The TP drain is real with Blood Weapon, but our BRD typically keeps me going.
