Exactly. It would not take away from DDs because unless the PLD is getting hit the PLD can not DD well, it encourages taking PLDs by giving a great damage tank while at the same time not making PLD itself powerful without being the one tanking, if the PLD can not hold hate their damage will suffer as a consequence and thus, a party of PLDs would be pointless as the hands would grant no bonus.
