It's not a huge concern for me, personally, given that there's no exp bonus for killing, but I feel like I'm more help adding extra dps to push the target over the edge.
As PLD, my main goal is to play distraction (charge in and take dmg in place of my squishier team mates) or play lure/trap. I either bait targets to my group, or I look for enemies that are crossing too deep into our lines, and stun lock them before they can get back to their healers. PLD excels at this.
Drk, on the other hand, is better for cock blocking retreats with the plunge/stun combo. The thing is, as Drk, I can solo dps squishy targets. If I get the stun off, Dark Arts-Carve and Spit-DA siphon blade combo = dead Casters/NIN or MNK. PLD can not do this.
