All TBN is good for is blocking Busters, auto attacks take too long or don't break in time the further we go with our Ilvls. HOS can fuel out consistently for a short CD, reduce a buster and reduce an auto attacks, plus AOEs. Or other words rotate around with no drawbacks, it isn't maths, it's common sense.
Always max DPS over the "reduce buster damage", not talking about casual easy content. Rampart/Sentinel are always back for the next busters, with the Invulnerable included. Only E4S really puts the threat at the moment to use TBN, other than that with 470 there's no need for it.

In the end Pld/Gnb will be top notch combo for doing larger DPS pools.
Your TBN even if you wont break it will still contribute to the rDPS.
Healer have more time, because you dont take damage and thanks to that he doesnt have to heal you, so he could throw a damage spell in.
TBN is a far bigger dps gain than simply using MP for damaging oGCD, if it breaks not only you could do damage but your healer as well.

Ask anyone who plays a healer, who they like to heal, which tank. DRK is nicest job to heal if played by competitve tank.

And HoS is not in any way "superior", not even in the slightest.
