Xenosys is a grumpy boy who, while he knows what he's talking about, is very much in the minority here. TBN is only a DPS loss if it doesn't pop, and that's -extraordinarily- rare if you're using it properly. I can totally see the guy's argument, but I do remember in his old video from just after Shadowbringers he honed in on this possibility way too hard. Just as well, even if TBN doesn't pop on that TB, you just mitigated a whole lot of damage at no health cost. I'd say that's worthwhile enough.

Also, TBN is just plain one of the strongest, consistently usable tank cooldowns in the game.
