Trying to understand the complaints about DRK

If TBN was actually dps neutral, then you could certainly throw it out on random autos. It's not.

The dps value of TBN is variable. In some cases the blood gain is greater than the MP cost, as tends to be the case during raid burst windows. On average, though, it works out to be a dps lose.

Also you have to think about all the healing your saving for your healers when your TBNing the autos as MT. 1 tbn is like saving a Cure II, and replacing it with a Stone IV. So in some cases i think it's a dps increase to your healer, along with the blood spiller it brings.

Not really. I stopped healing after Deltascape, so it might be different now (doubt it), but as SCH I barely ever had to use GCD heals for tank and my WHM buddy only used regen afaik. Regen, Eos, AoE heals and tanks self heal from Path (WAR) was enough most of the time. Occasional Excog/Lustrate and Tetra were enough when he got lower.
Sure, it will help healers in the long run, but it's far from being a whole GCD per TBN.
