In dungeons I go Sword Oath only on bosses, because on trash the tank can benefit from the mitigation of tank stance by pulling a lot. After one or two hate combos you can monitor enmity on the party list so no one can pull aggro without warning.



Trials however depend on the group. I've been to Shinryu ex practice parties where p1 autoattacks kill me as the OT in dps stance, after which I decided to go in tank stance just to see more mechanics and phases. Farm parties are probably more comfortable with everyone prioritizing dps. As a general rule it's good to be in tank stance for tank busters and adds.
