This all depends on the kind of content you're doing.
Personally, I don't consider myself an OT when I roll in 24 mans. I'm an EMERGENCY tank (and it is sometimes necessary as last night's ST can attest
). So I do keep Defiance up and try to apply the debuff because PLD -> WAR in most runs I encounter - so you may as well help the things do less damage. It does less DPS overall, but you're not there to do top kek DPS. You're there to pretty much be a backup tank.
NINs will apply Dancing Blade so if you have 1 NIN out of 15 DPSes don't bother with Storm's Eye. With Combo it has 10 more Potency than Path but again - we're not there to top kek DPS and overwriting buffs about as stupid as e-peen threat fights.
I'll let other people field the questions because I am not a good tank. Except this one.
Typically, I'll pop Berserk as often as possible UNLESS I'm OT. Berserk is a surefire way to pull threat. You just do THAT much damage. I'll put Berserk on once the tank's out of possible threatsteal range. You'll learn to gauge that as you run but typically at 50% you can't pull threat from them unless they're that bad, and chances are if they are they will had lost threat a few times to DPS.
