TBN being used on AAs in spite of its 5s duration is not the oversight - the oversight is that we don't have anything else to use instead. We have to use TBN on AA damage, because we interchangeably save Shadow Wall and Rampart to pair (seperately) with it for every TB. This is lessened somewhat in fights with magical TBs, but in fights like Susano it just feels like garbage.

We no longer have things like Foresight, Dark Dance, Reprisal, etc. to lengthen the time it takes for fluff damage to pull our HP down to the point where we require a heal. Thus, we can't NOT at least TRY to use TBN frequently to mitigate that damage, if we care about healer and raid DPS, and if we're lucky our own DPS.
