Playing tank, it all depends how your DPS are at their jobs. If I have dps who can throw up insane stupid numbers cresting 1300-1400, I just pull in Shield Oath, drop one RoH combo, then swap to Sword and fall into my normal opener. Sometimes I'll need to turn some of those initial RA's in my first FoF into RoH if the DPS are really that good, but with my full str-spec PLD (which has MORE than enough health and defense to tank anything that's not A3 or A4 Savage) and 1 Shield Oath Rage of Halone at the pull, I never run into threat issues. I even did it raiding A1S before and had absolutely no issues. The healers were a bit less stellar than necessary, though, so I ended up just staying Shield Oath the whole fight and using exactly 0 Rage of Halone combos from start to finish, thanks to Ninja's Shadewalker on the pull.

That said, if the DPS do anything around 1000 or less (which seems to be the second group; it's either 1300-1400 or 1000 and below), I just pull in Sword Oath, do my normal rotation and never need a single RoH to hold hate.
