Just in regards to this little bit, if you were to lose hate at such a bad time, it's the exact kind of situation you would use cover for. You shield your party member and still make use of Aegis Boon.

This is a nice little trick for triggering Phalanx/Spirit's Within if you have someone else tanking. Pop Aegis Boon, then cover the tank. You'll get the shield block and cure, then you can follow through with your Spirit's combo.
