I have had no problem with aoe hate management on PLDs and the only content I haven't beaten is turn 5. Have done adds many times and never lost hate.
Then use the block strength as a damage modifier for the attack similar to weapon damage, and keep the potency the same; it's essentially the same thing. And I'm not saying its impossible or particularly difficult to keep hate on multiple targets as a PLD, but why should WAR get so many more tools than a PLD does? Along with doing damage, WAR can maintain enmity at a much higher degree than PLD can.
