In a general sense, WAR is better for soloing since you bring legitimate self heals along with more ST *and* AoE damage so that you have less downtime and faster kills.
^ This. Thinking about it and I really cant think of any advantage that PLD has over WAR for Solo'ing. Outside of Mitigation, which isnt as important when solo'ing since mobs dont hit hard

WAR has better damage and more options for AoE (Maim, Internal, Berserk, Storm Eye, Vengeance, Overpower, Steel Cyclone) on 0 to Low Cooldown .

PLD only AoE Attacks are Flash which does no damage and Circle of Scorn which has a 25sec Cooldown.
