Holy Sheltron is the better looking between the two, but it's an animation where you're building a small fortress around yourself. What would be your vision to have this thrown/channeled onto another player?

This is why I play WAR. Button bloat is a pain, and FFXIV loves it's buttons.
- Shield bash: Honestly, this is useless in content that isn't deep dungeon. I would love to see this changed to an oGCD that synergizes with PLD rotation. Just remove the interrupt. Maybe grants divine might on use...30 sec cooldown.
- Passage of Arms: This needs to be reworked so allow movement or something like WHM temperance. I RARELY use this and when I do...it's never needed. This is such a clunky skill to use on controller.
- Cover: Just get rid of this useless skill. Ok I'm sure it has it's NICHE uses, but I have killed myself more often then not using this skill, plus I have to stand pretty close to a pt member so that it even works. Very rare occasions I would use this on a healer that is about to die to save a run, but that's about it.
- Intervention: I like the idea of removing it to save space, but at the same time balance wise having the ability to use Holy Sheltron on another pt member sounds broke as hell. Intervention is a good compromise for tossing mitigation to a pt member, that I can choose to buff with rampart or sentinel. Making it pretty strong.
- Requiescat: This skill just needs some TLC; and by that I mean needs to absorb Fight or Flight into it's usage. Fight or Flight just needs to trait up to requiescat at the level you get req.
- Fight or Flight: see requiescat.
- Goring Blade: Honestly I would love to see this skills potency get pushed into Espacion and removed. It was always a disjointed skill to use, and even more so now that it has it's own skill timer. If it was removed you can have shield bash take it's place as an oGCD spender.
- Confiteor: Take the DoT that Circle of Scorn places on the target. Other then that keep as is.
- Circle of Scorn: Traited up to Confiteor.
- Espaciaon: Keep it as is. This would mean instead of Circle of Scorn and Espacion being your filler oGCD and goring, you would have Shield Bash and Espacion. Which leaves room for 1 more oGCD you can add to PLD rotation.
New Skill to replace Goring Blade:
Knights of the Round: oGCD that is available Upon finishing blade combo.
A massive 3 hit attack animation (Spin Slash, Shield Slam, and Holy Magic Nuke) that deals a 1 guaranteed direct hit. Knights of the Round has with a 120 sec cooldown. KotR uses Divine might stack.
This way you can use your divine might with a Holy Spirit before you pop confiteor, use your oGCD's (Shield Bash and Espacion), Confiteor, blade combo, and cap it off with KotR as you will get another Divine might with shield bash. Then right into atonement spam and 1-2-3. Only downside is you get KotR only during your odd minute which lines up with 2 min burst.
So you lose a oGCD every even minute, but you gain an additional Holy Spirit usage with Shield Bash.
