Overall tasks can fail because of the job itself (bugs or erroneous condition in job's/user's code) or issues on the node (hardware/system software).
Job level blacklisting accounts for the first type of problems i.e it avoids nodes on which many tasks of this particular job failed for whatever reason. It is used to make sure that more tasks of this job don't get launched on the same node. Cluster level blacklisting accounts for cumulative failures on nodes across all jobs. Used to heuristically determine generic node issues independent of the jobs.
