If it does not require a PLD, PLD is not worth bringing.
No content in the game will you ever see people truly wanting a PLD if its not required, why? Because, PLD does shit for damage, has no other utility besides tanking that can not easily be done better by another job, holding mobs, Twilight gear, cures, WHM SCH or RDM, DDing, every DD in the game basically. So why bring a PLD if its not required? Simple, don't, and that's the problem, no content truly requires a PLD.
You said its not fair to the other jobs, well really, may I ask how fair it is to PLD that its only use is when content is new and not yet understood? Since no content requires a PLD as soon as we understand how to win we no longer use one, why would we? We can tank with DDs, people putting out more damage and that are overall more useful to the party than the PLD would be because we can survive doing it, because PLD is not required. If it were required, we would have to bring it, but its not, so why do it? Can you give me a reason to bring PLD when its not required? Because outside of saying the same thing Matsui said with taking newer players to Delve, just be nice and take them with you cause they need it too, I can not think of any reason to take a PLD when its not truly needed.
