Try not to spam RoH as an OT. Use it only to refresh the STR down debuff if the MT isn't a PLD, and use RA the rest of the time.

As an MT, well, how frequently you use RoH will depend mostly on how fast the rest of your squad rises in the threat meter. Otherwise just spam RA and RoH to refresh the debuff.

Sword Oath use will depend on how easy or hard it is for you to keep a comfortable enmity lead.

Don't do this. Goring -> RA -> RA -> repeat. You will lose far too much rDPS applying RoH as OT and the STR debuff is negligible. You're also suggesting cutting out Goring, which is higher potency than RA after only 3 ticks. This isn't me saying "DPS is more important than mitigation!!" either, RoH's debuff just mathematically isn't going to do anything worthwhile to merit the damage loss. Even as MT you want to try and avoid it like the plague.

As an MT, RoH is very boss dependent, on a physical heavy boss (in harder content, don't bother in dungeons, the mitigation is unnecessary), please use RoH when you can, the numbers are not negligable, I believe it is around 10% DR on physical attacks depending on the bosses strength. In savage raiding you should definitely be using RoH as mitigation (especially if you are in ShO). The skill has its flaws, but it is worth using, and as a PLD, mitigation is more important than damage (though you are right to say don't bother as an OT).

Also yes, use goring blade. Your combo should be RoH combo, GB combo, RA combo, repeat; unless the fight is magic heavy, in which case use RoH until you have comfortable hate, then replace it with an extra RA combo.
