    I don't believe PLD's need a potency/enmity buff on their single target tanking. As the classes are right now, any slightly major changes would give the other an overall edge and offset the wonderful balance the two classes enjoy with each other. CoS and Spw each give a 12.30% increase in total WpnSkill DPS. A warrior really only pulls ahead very very very slightly, because of Unchained. As a trade off a PLD gets a shield which I believe is a fair and balanced trade off for the sake of differences between classes.

    Some maths to back my opinion:

    Notes:
    -Assuming GCD is at 2.5.
    -Not countining Berserk, Unchained, Flight or Fight, and Auto-attacks.
    -Storm's Eye Only lasts 2 Full rotations therefore in a SP, BB, BB does not apply for the SP combo.
    -Sword Oath gives a 50 potency to your auto attacks which is roughly every 2.5 secs for a PLD (Purely eye tested). For this calculation, it is essentially a +50 potency to all GCD Weapon Skills.
    -Berserk and Flight or Flight are almost similiar so their application wouldn't change much. FoF is something like a 10% total increase and Berserk a few decimal points lower because of the pacification.
    -Unchained would push the WAR totals(ones with stance calculations naturally) slightly further (like no more than 3000 for damage potencies and like, 13000 for the hate potencies) purely from common sense, putting them slightly ahead.

    Over 300 seconds or 40 GCD's (perfect alignment of Brutal Swing, Circle of Scorn and Spirits Within)

    Formula:
    (((WpnSkl*Stance)*Maim)*StrmEye)*Times Used

    WAR:
    Pure BB
    (630*0.75)*40 = 18900
    with Brutal Swing: + (100*0.75)*15 or 1125 = 20025

    with Both: + (250*0.8)*12 + (300*0.8)*10 or 4800 = 24320
