The SS is for using defensive/threat generating skills faster -_-; I didn't sing praises about how wonderful SS is either, I just said it's better than CRIT for a PLD, but so is almost everything... To be honest if you run out of TP you're doing it wrong, there is only so much thread that you need to generate, and there are a lot of other things you can do between rotations, put some stoneskins on your self for example, and take comfort in the fact that SS reduces the cool down of other skills besides 123. Even if you use all the CRIT that the game currently allows in gear for PLD, your damage will still be negligible... Use common sense.
PLD DPS is not negligible, especially in content where you're not stuck in Shield Oath. That aside ...
