Tank "Guidelines"

[Mazi]

Yah the point of pull with provoke is NOT to get hate its to be able to pull the mob DUH, I guess you are not a tank if you dont know that. Shield Lob range is extremly low and there are many situations in which you need a bigger range. So its better to pull with provoke than let a bard or a blm pull.

Pulling with provoke is the same as face pulling, you get 0 aggro from it. Just run up and Shield Lob it, if someone else pulls guess what? NOW PROVOKE DOES SOMETHING :O

If someone else pulls then every mob linked with their target goes straight to them.

The enmity difference between pulling a faraway mob with provoke and lobbing/overpowering/flashing when it is in range and provoking after a dps pulls and lobbing/overpowering/flashing is so negligible as to be laughable, and if I provoke to pull all the linked mobs will run to me, not a dps. And it requires a lot less coordination with dps I may not know or be able to communicate with in a timely manner.

Do I provoke every pull? Of course not, don't be obtuse. But there are situations when it's beneficial. Your counter arguments are misguided to say the least.
