This depends on Delirium. Because BS eats GCD you're pushing back SS and SE and losing blood and mp. Using TBN to proc BS is a DPS loss while not in Grit. TBN to proc Delirium is a gain.

Also, Inner Beast isn't remotely similar to Bloodspiller. IB is used as a defensive cooldown, not necessarily for damage.
PLD's oath changes cost MP, and realistically, another GCD more than DRK.

Anyways, It's been shown that using TBN to proc BS is DPS neutral. Honestly, it doesn't matter which GCD bloodspiller replaces in a combo. The end result is that it's the same if you decided to use the MP on TBN for BS, or on DA for SE, SS, or what have you.

Inner Beast is not similar to Bloodspiller. I'm comparing IB to TBN when it comes to native, "on-demand" mitigation. The argument being made is that DRK's mitigation is weak, when in reality none of DRK's cooldowns should be viewed in a vacuum, but instead as "x cooldown+TBN," because when you establish that TBN breaks even on its cost, there is no reason to NOT pair it with your defensives. DRK does not need several abilities because TBN can be abused and reused so often for its 15 second cooldown! It's even better than Sheltron for taking fluff damage. This is absurdly strong, especially when you consider DRK has access to that much mitigation outside of grit. WAR has to at least swap stances and lose DPS to gain access to IB.
