We could buff some of its currently lackluster CDs in TBN's stead, such as by giving Oblation a second, briefer layer of mitigation [20% until having taken damage, 10% thereafter; or just 20% for the first 4s and 10% for the rest] or buffing Dark Mind slightly (retaining the anti-magic advantage, but maybe applying also a 10% physical mitigation component).
If TBN is to keep it's cost, yeah reverting it back to a 20% shield on a 12 sec CD while buffing our lesser CDs sounds really good. That would address a lot of the issues of it not breaking as there's usually only a sliver of the shield left when that happens.
Bursting would still feel pretty bad if I had to skimp out on a EoS, but so long as I have enough extra mitigation for the next incoming buster to prevent me from dropping to like 20% HP, that would work really well.
