What's the cooldown on it? Also, why is the defensive one used more than the avoidance one? Less risk of repeated high damage?

When I quit playing in 2005, it was 10min 30sec from button press, so, 7.5 min between uses. However, I think it used to be a longer timer, maybe 15min? I'd have to research to be sure.
Some mobs have a very large DB and relatively small DI, such that they might hit for 410 420 430 440... 600. So in this case, evasive would be preferable as long as a max damage round wouldn't kill the tank because each avoided hit is saving a lot of damage. Whereas defensive would just lower the max hit from 600 to 500.
If instead the mob had a lower DB and higher DI, say hit for 225 250 275 300... 700, then defensive is preferred because it cuts the max hit from 700 to 450.
Evasive has the same duration and refresh as Defensive iirc.
