I do know that I'm not going to run to the mages every time Rampart is up, so that I can spike hate. I do not (personally) know anyone that does. (>> ) That practice seems... counterproductive.
In the Ifrit fight for example, there are opportunities for the mages to run to the PLD. My LS uses that strat when I tank on gla/pld. It's also one of the very first things I do in the fight as pld/gla.
