If you are using TBN just to break it, you lose mitigation. A tank not using mitigation just to keep up damage is bad design, and should not happen.

This is actually the opposite of what's happening. If TBN breaks you are not losing any mitigation. If you TBN and it doesn't break and drops off, then you are losing whatever shield you had left.

Let me rephrase: If you are not using TBN because you doubt it will break, you lose mitgation! And as I said, if you refrain from using mitigation as a tank, then there is something wrong.

I have no issue with it breaking, it's the cases when it doesn't. And they occur more often than you might think. (Even for high-end players.)

So I take it that you are using Dark Mind, Rampart, Shadow Wall, and Missionary on cooldown. Because by that logic if you don't, then you are wasting mitigation.

By your logic I should never use TNB because I have other tools to mitigate? Let's just remove TBN then, it's niche!

The answer is use it when its needed, like a strong raidwide or tank buster, if youre using it to mitigate fluff then youre using it wrong because fluff is covered by healer regens anyway so youre not saving anyone any casts by doing it

But if the damage isn't enough to break TBN in the first place, then using TBN would be OVERmitigating.
WHM can spam Cure 2 on you if they want to but then that's OVERhealing.


TBN is a brilliant skill just the way it is, the only change I'd want made to it would be extending it's duration slightly, to make it more likely to pop in dungeon pulls.
