Here's the big problem. On a melee DPS, Goad is an absolutely useless skill to have. The odds that you're matched with another melee DPS is rare, and tanks don't ever seem to run out of TP. Add to that melee DPS basically can't run out of TP on single-target Trial bosses either, and the situations in which Goad is useful becomes so rare that Leg Sweep, Diversion and Feint are infinitely more useful to take aside from the mandatory four skills Second Wind, Invigorate, Bloodbath and True North.

The only real solution here would be to drastically reduce the TP costs for melee AoE. I for one think it could easily be halved and it would still be balanced.
