Well, there are times when you want to kill cruisers/BCs but really don't want to launch drones due to aggro issues from another big pocket. In those cases, TPs do seem to help, though I haven't found a good way to generate a combat log to see what my DPS actually does with 'em on versus off. For most L4s, I've not needed a broader resist spectrum, but you have an excellent point for missions such as Angel Extravaganza.
