The TP you saved likely wouldn't be enough to make up for the damage you lost, and using it on trash pulls is an even bigger waste because it means you're not applying Goring (your highest potency ability) to multiple targets. I've never had trouble holding aggro with a couple of Flashes followed by a buffed Circle of Scorn, with another Flash or two later for the blind. I don't need the tiny damage reduction from having Halone up on 2.5 targets, or from pacification.
