Is it time for SE to give PLDs a good bump in terms of DPS?

Sure, but they can't make tanks so different that content is not doable with any combo. Think about 2.0 when people would bail in DF if both tanks were WARs and most coil groups were double PLD.

SE is designing jobs so they all bring similar benefits to the raid as a whole.

2.0 where playing WAR took some skill, gear, timing and class knowledge. Coil was completely doable with a WAR MT, and I know this because I did it. Doing it as a WAR wasn't face-roll easy like it was with the Paladin though, so a mediocre PLD could do it, but it took a good WAR to keep up... and there weren't many.
