All mechanics are stupid and easy taken alone, it's the whole fight that makes them hard to handle since they're a lot. You're not avoiding a debuff, you're avoiding a debuff while doing and pending in lots of other things. Fights look easy on guides because you read them one by one, more small stuff = more chances you'll miss something and wipe the raid; allowing someone to bypass them is reducing far more risks than it looks like.

I would rather have tempered will just stay as it is, and wouldn't mind it removing DoTs or stuff removed by cleanse which would be removing a GCD from a heal at no cost, more than that is too much taking into account how many defensive cooldowns the PLD has. Saying "When picking your tank, you'll have to weight bypassing one debuff every 3 minutes or having an overall better DPS" is a false statement since you're already picking putting less strain on healers or having an overall better DPS now. PLDs have to assume there's an alternative to PLD MT now and they aren't the best pick 100% of the time the same way the WAR have to assume they're gonna be OTing.
