There are already two dps-tank jobs, please don't make Paladin the third.

I'm hoping the stronger changes is a nerf to tank dps. Warriors should not put out the same damage as bards.

You flatter WARs too much with this. No DPS that is playing their job optimally should be out-DPSed by a WAR of the same gear level. Even MCHs and BRDs should be about 200 DPS ahead of a balls-to-the-walls WAR even w/o the piercing debuff.
