You always want Steel Fiber on any Rage build. Yes you'll take damage more slowly and thus gain energy more slowly. However, the point is to be able to use your abilities and if you take damage too quickly there's this unfortunate thing that happens called death.

In addittion on a Rage+Lifestrike build Steel Fiber is slowing down the rate at which you take damage making it miuch easier to use Lifestrike to keep your health up.

Granted these facts may be irrelevant in lower level mission but if you're in high level areas, Pluto Eris Void etc., then staying alive is of much greater priority than using your abilities sooner.
