There's not many fights in the game where a THM can sustainably go all out and draw hate. If a THM goes all out now, enough to draw hate, they're gonna spend that much time waiting for MP regen doing nothing.

PLD clearly will generate more hate than GLA. Most of GLA's hate generation is from native skills already, and PLD gives it a very potent heal as well.

There's no way Convert cannot increase THM's DPS - what's important is how well it will perform to that end. What effects that? The cooldown of Convert. That's one CD I'd be much more worried about being balanced than 15 minute Burst.
