So we'll still contribute, but in a different way then DPS and healers.

You mean like sacred soil (scholar)? They gave that to white mages, it's called sacred prism, except not only is it 30% damage reduction, but it's also a HoT for everyone inside. They gave warrior an aoe Thrill of battle (called thrill of war). But they didn't do that to paladin. I think the ability to stun lock everyone on no cooldown is good enough though. If the tp cost is too high, then drop paladin and use invigorate with gladiator.

Problem with this is, if you're running as warrior, you're gimping yourself from the damage you could do as marauder. Thus you're pigeonholed into this hackneyed dps position. Since the warrior pvp abilities, work for marauder as well. They should just force the abilities into job crystal specifics, instead of base-class. By the time you're level 30 and able to pvp anyway, you should have your job unlocked by that point. Just my two cents on this, in regards. Some of these earlier ideas are great, but my point still makes the idea of warrior being obsolete in comparison.

If frontlines is a longer pvp instance. It would be a no brainer to use your newly acquired points to just get the lower CD trait.
If your getting all the options, might as well make those options as frequent as possible.

Otherwise, all into STR/INT/DEX for the all mighty DPS the NPC race... if it becomes that.

Wait what? What's wrong with a class being on par or better in use for a single optional segment of the game?
