Besides, having to use Inner Beast too frequently will mean losing Unchained and Fell Cleave opportunities. Two things that are a big part of why WAR can easily outnumbers PLD on DPS.

With the potency buff on GB and RA, I think PLD is more than a match for a mitigation-focused WAR.
Magical, or on a ~30s CD timer. IB also better for multi-strike cleaves/tank busters due to the time-based mitigation + heal. IB usage doesn't necessarily stop Unchained optimization either, which is evidenced by the first 2 phases of T13 wherein you can mitigate every Flare Breath + Flatten as well as use Unchained when it comes back up and whenever it's needed beyond then. WAR also has Equilibrium (which they didn't nerf, which is kinda surprising) and SW which are both great for cleaves and busters. Bunch of interesting options available to WAR as MT that could be utilized, though I guess we'll see if that ever is necessary or optimal.
