When you compared the, albeit weaker, WAR CD stacked with IB against a PLD's single CD, WAR is still going to do better.
Foresight and Mantra are both worthless. You can safely macro them into your combos and pretend they don't exist. I'm not even sure Mantra is worth using at all unless you're trying to help with prolonged AoE healing on your entire group or you just don't have a monk. 5% of 1500 works out to be an extra 75hp per heal received. 15 seconds gives 6 GCDs, assuming 2 healers that's about 900 extra healing spread over 15 seconds. It can be OK if something crits, but you can't rely on crits. I'd rather have the heal from Second Wind (which I also don't use) or the extra crit from Internal Release (which I do use).

Vengeance is good, as are Thrill and Convalescence, though Convalescence can cause some agro issues in situations with high healing. Holmgang doesn't really count as a cooldown; It's a death prevent, it doesn't make you take less damage or more healing. Featherfoot is OK, but is unreliable and can you even dodge Death Sentence? I certainly don't remember doing it.
