Personally I use
Fae Silence - This is amazing for getting casters to come to you when you pull a mob in a dungeon, and the cooldown is reasonable. Also great for soloing Rare mobs in Pandaria.
Maul
and
a. Frenzied Regeneration - This is amazing for raids
b. Faerie Fire for dungeons and general use.
c. Might of Ursoc might be another good option, even better when paired with our guardian tier set bonus.

Maul
No. No no no no no no no no NO!
You hardly ever use Maul. Like, only when you aren't tanking something or if you're comfortable hp wise while rage-capped. But you certainly don't use it as a cleave. (but hey who knows, maybe I'm wrong. It happens.)
Fae Silence is very nice in 5mans. Especially with the increased cd on Skull Bash.
a. Frenzied Regeneration - This is amazing for raids
For 25mans, definitely. For 10mans, I think it's situational.
Other options are all situational:
Survival Instincts
: amazing for fights where you expect a short damage spike and 3 mins is too much of a cd.
Might of Ursoc
: 2 mins is a HUGE increase, you'd only be able to use it once on shorter fights. But maybe that's all that's required. And with the T14 2set it has become a tiny bit more viable
Stampeding Roar
: awesome for fights where you need to move (away) in group fast. One of my go-to glyphs
Rebirth
: used to be mandatory, but now that standard rebirth gives more hp, it's less so. I still like to use it though.
Faerie Fire
: can't go wrong with extra range on this spell.

Personally, I use those :
Stampeding Roar :
In MoP it got nerfed to 10 yard, which is nothing. So many encounter are all about movement in MoP raid. I think it's a must.
Rebirth :
Simple here, I'm the only one in my core with a Battle Rez, so it's always usefull, even more when I need to brez the other tank.
Fearie Fire :
I use this one because it's just a safe choice and it's great overall.
I
don't
use
Fae Silence
since I use fearie fire so often in my rotation to refresh the CD of Mangle.
I
don't
use
Frenzied Regeneration
because being able to heal myself during magic damage or AoE damage, even under 60 rage is amazing. The skill doesn't even go on CD if you use it under 60 rage so when you don't get hit physically hard you can always heal yourself if you have rage.
I
don't
use
Maul
glyph because the only time I use Maul is either when I'm doing my dailies and don't need dodge or heal, and when I'm not tanking a boss or adds (between taunt rotation) and have some rage to spend on a single target boss.
As for
Survival Instincts
and
Might of Ursoc
, I
don't
use them because I don't think the nerf you get from the buff worth it that much. I like SI being, 12 sec. I like MoU being 3 min CD, instead of 5.. It's really more easy to get a CD rotation.
Plus sometime I like combining SI and Barkskin for 70% damage reduction. Having the same duration is perfect.

Don't do this. It doesn't work the way you think it does, and makes your Barkskin only half as effective as it would normally be.
Fae Silence is great for 5 mans, definitely recommended there. Raids swap it out for something else. You'll never really be threatened by anything in a 5 man unless you're in quest greens, so just go with the quality of life improvement of having a ranged silence.

I know it stack manipulatively and not additionally. I was just too lazy to make the math. I know how it works.
Some scenario actually might ask you to do this.
I won't stop doing it because some random guy told me so.
If you don't see the combo being usefull, it's better not take advice from you.

That is quite an overreaction.
You just acknowledged that you know he's right, but for some reason you keep clinging to your own believes ... or something.
I like stacking defensive cds too, but not barkskin and SI (for the reason stated by Raleandris). Although truth be told, sometimes when I see my health drop very low I just panic and pop any defensive stuff that isn't on cd :D
