Am I missing something? As it just seems like hitting whatever’s off cool down because its just that; off cool down.

Provoke is an enmity skill that simply points your threat level exactly 1 point above whoever has the highest threat. It does no damage. Has no other purpose, but to take over as tank.

So why is it nearly every tank I run into uses it every 30 seconds
It's a kind of tank game during alliance raids when every tank wants to be the main tank. And there is zero dialogue between them.

It puts you at the top of the aggro list, but if the tank is unstuffed or doesn't do anything, they'll lose aggro quickly.

There is another way to take aggro in just a few hits, the ranged skill that each tank has, which of course depends on the tank's stuff (Unmend, Lightning Shot, Tomahawnk & Shield Lob). Or after some boss mechanic, they die because they don't know the mechanic.

It's quite fun to use, because other tanks like to place a provoke after mine, because there is a CD and he loses it anyway after a few hits, since 3 quarters of the tanks are unstuff in raid alliance and unskill. Sometime, it's just for troll between tank.

It is now a kind of game between tanks without having exchanged a single word between them. Sometime, it's just for troll between tank.
