Is Paladin in a Bad Spot?

I actually like that the gear is job specific.

I don't mind it on itself, but it runs into a problem where the endgame raid is balanced in such a way that you want to bring PLD for A2s and DRK for everything else since you can't have one of your tanks just freely swap jobs for each floor, not without losing ilevel at least.

Do we know what A4s is like yet? We're just assuming because MT damage is all magic in A4 that anti magic will be all that's important in A4s. But I'm curious if PLDs superior anti-physical set may work better staying alive in what is likely to be a more dangerous vacuum to get sucked into, leaving WAR & DRK to fight over MT duties.

Unless they do some weird complete 180' from NM A4, the floor is about 90% magic damage, and the most critical part of it (the tankbuster) is magic.
