It is a valid excuse to deny a burst phase extension, if you read what I said. As for the flow, personally it's felt fine to me, only time it has been an issue, has been due to my own personal error playing it by overspending going into my burst, not because of the job's current design.
And it has and it hasn't, there is still weave slots available, more so than what DRK has available, and there is this simple thing that it's invaluable as a tank it's called planning ahead. Plan you mitigation ahead of tank busters and raid wides, suddenly you're issue with using mitigation becomes less of a problem. Even on PLD and WAR, if you don't plan ahead, you're gonna delay oGCD usage if you don't plan cooldowns properly.
