and make the cooldown like 5 seconds on each. Being a clutch tank shouldnt revolve around keeping your stam bar over 50% at all times.

Bah. At least they force you to think about when to do what.
It's sad enough that nothing else requires strategy.
Don't dumb the game down even more.

There are a lot of hate moves, and our tanks have no trouble keeping agro with the existing system.
Learning to time your abilities and use them at appropriate times is just part of the game.
If Provoke is too long for you, level up other jobs to get their hate moves.
You could get Taunt from Pugilist, and Warmonger and Storms Path from Marauder. You also have your shield moves.

I agree that there are many abilities that generate hate. Provoke isn't one of the main hate tools anymore compared to FFXI. I see it more as an emergency ability to get hate back instantly or to make sure the mob will face you for a short time.
But as such, the stamina cost should be lower, recast is fine as it is.
In fact, I wouldn't care if provoke had 30 seconds recast, just lower the cost so it really can be used as emergency hate ability.

Lowering the stamina cost won't change the fact that strategy is almost never needed for anything when fighting in FFXIV.

Lowered Stamina cost, yes. But like RidingBean said, keep the recast the same.

Hit the nail on the head with that one.
