TP burn PT is that you don't wait for people to gain TP for SC. You just spam the most damaging WS macro once you get close to 100%. Sometimes you can delay a bit for if you want a SC and know that the guy next to you is about to use his fav WS. It's not common for a TP burn PT to report TP to each other, setup SC and wait TP. It doesn't matter where the SC or the WS should take place, at start, middle even if using the WS to finish the monster is possible too.

Usually you will find some common SC around which are not mean to be SC but since the melees are getting TP at the same rate they can do SC without talking/report TP to each other. Asusra Fists <> Blade: Jin (make fusion or liquifaction) or Asura Fists <> Tachi Gekko or Rampage <> Rampage or Raging Rush <> Gillotine...etc. The speed of the PT rely heavily on the amount of raw damage and WS the melees can pull off. Like all 'burn' PT, there is no static tank in TP burn. You might have a main tank but he will constantly lose hate after the 1st few seconds of the fight so you can't really call him a static tank.

PT that rely on MB and SCing are not TP burn but more of traditional PT. It is generally a misconception that TP burn PT gains more exp than traditional PT (10k per hour vs 5k per hour) but it is not true. A traditional PT can earn up to 8~10k exp per hour given that the member are perfectly match (or very close to it) with each other on timing and MB. When you see a Tank, a SC, a nuker and a MB then you know it's a traditional PT you're in. If you see no SC, people with /nin sub and no static tank then you can be sure it's a burn type PT.

The earliest TP burn PT I could recall was lv 65 with 2 War/Nin + 1 Thf. We don't do SC but the Thf can use Dancing Edge to create SC with Rampage and vice versa when we get matching TP or it just happend that we are close at TP gain. Pretty much rely on 3 melees for damage, no pure nuker just rdm/whm/smn for the back line. I think TP burn can be as early as the 50s where you get 3mnks for bones.
