Saying that NIN will be dethroned by MNK is fantasy sadly for you. TA put appart, the aggro management (specially now that tanks seem to forget they got a tank stance and/or don't want to tank altogether) is pretty valuable in a party. Not only to pass out aggro, but to decrease it for one party member as well.
In a party with a ninja (meaning not PUGS) generally the TA timing is discuss between members to maximise it's use, so unless you play nin only in pugs the off timing of TA technically will not happen.
