I disagree with the bolded word. While PLD might not be needed or optimal, it's one of the jobs that can be useful in almost any situation, more so in Abyssea, but it's not without uses outside either. I strongly feel Paladin is the most versatile job the game has to offer, even if it currently doesn't excel at anything except having the best survival of all other jobs.

Also, as was stated, PLDs main weakness is Magic. Short of having an Aegis (and probably even with one), chances are that the thing that is going to kill you is magic damage. Not necessarily a spell, but yea.

In theory, a PLD reflecting damaging spells could potentially increase their ability to do damage to a heavy casting enemy. In this case, you would want a PLD to do the tanking so that heavy damaging spells not only don't hurt anyone in the party, it can potentially do moderate damage to the enemy.
