How do these changes fix the issues with Paladin?

Stuff.

I've already seen 2 FCs run Double Warrior through A4S and they kill it much faster than we do with DRK/WAR. So no, you're wrong. Like, very wrong. Do you expect MT Warriors to sit in Defiance all day or something? People who clear the content don't do this. On top of that, with Double Warrior you take a Monk for Dragon Kick, and most of the time Monks have higher DPS than a Ninja, or a Dragoon anyways. Yes, this is including Disembowel and Battle Litany.

^The fights where DPS is actually a concern. Please get out with anecdotal logic.

Yeah you selected parses about the best MNKs, and I can tell you that the DRKs in these groups are pretty low. Look at what really good DRKs are doing http://www.fflogs.com/rankings/7#bos...pec=DarkKnight almost every A3S parses with real DRKs have the WAR being behind the DRK. You also don't seem to be taking into account the fact that in these parses, the WAR is OTing, thus doesn't need to activate his tanking stance as much as the DRK.

MNK may be the highest DPS right now but DRG and NIN both increase the DPS of everyone else in the party (DRG with Battle Litany + bringing Disembowel for the BRD/MCH, NIN with fucking Trick Attack which is awesomely awesome), and MNK utility is erased by the DRK which IS the highest MT DPS PERIOD. I hell know that a WAR isn't staying in Defiance while tanking, as much as a DRK isn't standing in Grit either. And Gritless DRK > Deliverance WAR in physical fights, that's also a known fact. The only fight where DRK isn't that high in MT DPS is A4S because there is nothing to parry except the adds. I can't believe there is still someone believing that WAR is above DRK while MTing.
