+500 armor (I don't think the +Received health is really worthy) for a relatively new or "not optimally" geared tank, during physical fight, is always appreciable. It's a more decent filler, now.
So yes, I agree with you when you say there's other combo that should have the priority above this one, I agree it's limited to physical tanking fight, and I agree it's not to use when you struggle to get aggro, but I disagree with you when you say we should "Try not to use Counterstrike at all" and that the only good thing is that it "doesn't hurt" (to quote your words). It have it's use. It situational and you should think before using it, but I feel it's something that can have its use. Then again, I'm probably a worse guard than all of you in this thread since my guard is just an alt I don't play very often, but I just want to underline the fact that counterstrike went from "don't touch this crap" to "sometime ok".
