I would love quelling strikes, but I have no intention of leveling archer to 34 just for one ability... so I just macroed my manashield/manaward together for some protection when I end up tanking... When I start my rotation I KNOW I'm going to pull aggro, usually one firestarter proc and the mob is on me. If you are never pulling hate and you think quelling strikes isn't necessary, you aren't doing any dps at all as BLM.
