The following auto attack 2-3 seconds later will break it, granting you Dark Arts. Eden Prime in E1S autos for around 24k, meaning that two autos total out to around 48k damage and, thus, a broken TBN. Hades EX autos for around the same that Eden Prime savage autos for. The fact that you claim to understand the inner workings of this job and its core ability, yet don't even understand the situations in which the ability can be properly utilized and applied, tells me that you have a woefully lacking in your overall knowledge and understanding. Frankly, you have done an extremely good job of proving that you don't understand the things you are saying. Bosses auto attacking for 15k? Please show me a savage boss that auto attacks for 15k damage that's level 80. Go ahead, I'll wait patiently. Spoiler alert: you can't do it, because none of them auto attack that low. Even Titania/Innocence EX, the very first levels of level 80 high end content, tuned for ilvl 430, still auto attack for around 20k damage and yes, even they can break TBN in two auto attacks. It's just barely enough, but they can manage it (not that you would even remotely need to be TBN'ing their auto attacks at BiS to begin with, but I digress).

So you can claim that you're repeating what "pro tank players" say, but your lies don't hold any weight. If "pro" tank players thought that TBN was so bad then why would DRK be the second most popular tank in current savage by a significant margin? Seeing as, y'know, the only thing "special" DRK has going for it is its powerful mitigation. To answer that rhetorical question, it simply would not be so popular if that were the case. However, the reality is that it isn't the case, and TBN is in fact as powerful as I have said it is. You may not agree with that, but that's fine. Your understanding of the ability is flawed and you don't even know how much damage bosses are doing to you with auto attacks, so I don't expect you to understand enemy damage profiles and the strength/optimization of your cooldowns when you don't even understand a concept as simple as a boss auto attack, how much damage it does, and how you are capable of mitigating it.
