I don't main DRK but if you don't take enough damage to break it, do you really use TBN ?

I do because I prefere safety over dps but most DRK I meet seem to prefer dps over safety.

It isn't as simple as safety over DPS. If you aren't in any danger of dying after, then you are as safe as can be. If TBN doesn't break, the damage was minimal and so you can safely use other mitigation, if required, and be healed by other means, many of them being passive healing that take no extra effort from the healers, even if it is just using something to heal after a raid wide (remembering tanks take less damage than other jobs).

So really, it is safety whilst maximising damage which is done by taking encounter mechanics, healers and your own defensives into account.
