    If your MT refuses to stop attacks for 1 second after they survive the hit, putting grit up the moment u see the green aura will not get you enough time to get into your threat combo before an auto attack can kill them (most of the time the boss waits a second or 2 before she auto attacks, but sometimes its instant, and 2 GCDs will still leave the MT dead from an auto attack.)
    In all seriousness though, besides CDs, healers using virus and the such makes a huge difference, one time i was revived, no grit up yet, and no CDs available, I only took like half my HP in dmg from their mitigation being added to me.

    (also DA powerslash is a terrible way to use the MP, its better used for C&S as the MP will generate more threat this way, AND do more dmg.)

    If my off the GCDs just came up, and im about to tank swap, i save them for after my provoke, so i can stack on as much dmg as possible.
    I put up grit when i see the yellow aura, and for the few times she doesnt do the yellow aura 1st, all you can do is get used to when its about to happen.
    (She tends to tank buster a few GCDs after the 1st time she does it, and then stops doing it for a bit, so essentially who ever is hit with her tank bust 1st, after adds, is going to "MT" most of the fight.)
    Also, start with unleash if you need threat instantly after grit, but didnt have enough time to rev up your enmity combo. (better use of your MP than DA powerslash like some people suggest)
    If you have 3 or so off the GCDs ready to use, you can just start your enmity combo, as your off the GCDs will hold hate till your enmity kicks in from power slash.

    Lastly, if you're the "MT" due to being the target of tank busters 1st, you're going to have a much harder time stance dancing, due to not having enough MP or time with blood weapon, she's going to require you to provoke her back again usually before you get its full effect, along with dodge mechanics preventing u from hitting her. (Unless you're comfortable staying out of grit, but if your under geared compared to a very well geared OT, you'll have issues if they dont stop attacking)
