Would PLD be viable if its mitigation was as superior to DRK as its DPS is inferior?

[Ladon]

Making Paladins a viable option to DRKs isn't a solution. All this is going to do is displace DRKs while more and more groups start looking at Warrior-Warrior as the most viable option.

Tank balance is broken until a PLD-DRK group is just as effective as a WAR-Whatever group.
