I think it was largely down to the combination of dots being largely undervalued for certain jobs early in ARR's life with how difficult they were to track in the days before parsing. That coupled with more of a focus on MP conservation and a comparative lack of Tank survivability back then meant you didn't really see that many people using it. In the video I was hoping to link I only remember casting it on the opener and during the heart phase for example, a stark contrast to how things are today!

For the curious, it wasn't a day and night DPS gain. One Thunder cast on WHM did 215 potency for the GCD cast whereas Stone II was 170 at the time if I'm remembering correctly. The real beauty of it was that it meant you had 130 potency of dots ticking away whilst we were busy pre casting and canceling Cure

It got removed really early on, either 2.1 or 2.2 from memory.
