I don't think this is necessarily true. I think they have enough abilities, it's just that their skillset doesn't seem to flow well or even contradict use in a party setting.

For instance, take a look at Blood Price from DRK. They restore their MP from taking damage, which is important usually during AoE spams of Unleash. The problem? Your healer is usually using Holy or Shadowflare, which reduces incoming damage and thus mitigates enough to cause MP problems, and you have a harder time holding aggro.

PLD's skillset has a lot of good tools, but they seem disjointed at times. Take this for example: Rage of Halone is unlike Butcher's Block, as it's the lowest potency combo instead of the highest, but needed to keep aggro. In addition, Authority is combo'd from Savage Blade instead of Riot Blade, which is inconsistent when compared to the other two tank classes.
