If you have a PLD as the other tank, he can also put up RoH's debuff and is nice when paired with SP.
Storm's Path is incredibly worthless outside of raid wide AoE's. Keeping it up 100% of the time would result in no actual benefit, and instead would actually lower group DPS by a significant margin. If you're scared of accidentally stealing hate, just cycle Storm's until the mt has enough of a hate lead to BB, or SP is actually needed.
