Provoke is not to be used in agro rotations but is to be used to get back on top if someone takes agro from you, when you suddenly need to take over tanking the boss from another tank such as in tank swaps or if the main tank dies, mostly stuff like that. There is an agro building trick utilizing provoke and shirk that you can use as the off-tank to build the main tank's agro lead but that is more advanced and not something you should worry about while learning.

As for Overpower spam, well yeah that's pretty much what you will be doing at low lvl with WAR, spam it when fighting 3 or more enemies until low on TP and then switch to single target abilities. When fighting 2 or less just use your combos.

If you want to know what Inner Beast or any other ability does, just look at the description and tooltip for it in-game or you can check out the official job guide site.
