Sure you could give PLD healing abilities or buffs but it'll likely just add less for the PLD to do because if a PLD needs to heal someone then the healers aren't doing their job, if SE designed the content with a healer PLD in mind then PLD would become 100% necessary for raids causing balance to shift in the opposite direction of what it currently is regarding tank spots in raid statics.
While I like this comment, will it break balance? I mean, people will go PLD, other tank, DPS x5, Healer x1. Tension would spark if the healer dies and the PLD is busy healing folks. I'm just running my mouth at the moment.

Anywho, in FFXI, PLD had four Tiers of Cure as well other "healer" stuff: http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Paladin (scroll down to the "Spell List").
