That's not true, provoke have a further distance then Shield Lob or Tomahawk. It is also very useful getting mob out of a tight cornor spot where usually Shield Lob and Tomahawk cannot. There are multiple times where provoke follow by a shield lob does the job nicely. I tend to do this a lot pulling mob far away, provoke will have them run to me and then a Shield Lob or Tomahawk does the job nicely.

It is only not useful only if you don't follow it up by another skills.
