"Base/Simple" stigma of Paladin and how we must deal with it/prepare for the future.

That being said, I find it very hard to maximise my dps (sword oath) while still holding aggro against a warrior in deliverance.

I think you're playing with really bad WARs, because:

1. The opening rotation requires 2-4 SEs, before BB even comes into play
2. In Savage X, Y, and Z they should be using SE -> SP beyond their opener, which has 0 enmity multipliers attached

If you'd like to min/max DPS, have the WAR open and swap after FoF runs out. From then on the WAR should be doing nothing but SE -> SP so you'll have 0 aggro issues and you'll also have the incredibly comfy aggro lead the WAR has built up for you. If you have a NIN, you could also have him Shade you and Smoke Screen the WAR if you don't want to have the WAR open. PLD certainly has enmity issues compared to DRK/WAR, but they're not as crippling as people make them out to be, you just have to work around them.

Please compare the mitigation effects of divine veil versus delirium against Splash x6 into Cascade, (or hell even just cascade since divine veil CAN ONLY BE UP FOR EVERY OTHER ONE).

Monk's DK + Divine Veil > Delirium in terms of mitigating the raid damage of Cascade, even with DV's long recast time. The only caveat is you must bring a MNK, which isn't really much of a detriment anymore, especially if you're already bringing a PLD.
