My first question would be does "When Attacked" mean the same thing as "Whenever you take damage"? I have no idea, but I'd make sure AoE counts first.

Even still, I'd prefer Brutality/Swift Slash. It would take a fair amount of testing or simulations to see how often you need to take damage to make it a dps gain, but I feel like it's too situational, whereas Brutality is always useful. You don't consistently take damage in most fights, especially not during the important high dps burn phases i can think of. I feel like either of them are a pretty marginal dps gain anyway, and it probably isn't a huge difference, but I'd say Brutality helps more when you need high dps the most.

I can't speak to which provides higher dps, I'd probably lean towards swift slash as well, but I can verify defensive forms is "whenever you take damage". Our Sentinel usually meditates in the lava before Gharj to build centering so he can save his valorous call.
