Intervention most definitely trumps TBN on double soak busters. As far as the "free" comment, a couple hilarious wipes waaay back in O4S when we were first progressing show me it also has its negatives, like wanting to use Shelltron as well at the same time and only having enough gauge for one or the other.
No apologies necessary, I should have been more clear about the parameters. TBN is definitely nice for small damage, where as intervention is great for soaking shared stuff or to get just a little more out of a cooldown when tank swapping having used big mitigation.
