PLD or DRK? Which is more fun?

[...] TBN is something i guess but if you have an astro in noc i don't see why its worth it to spend resources on. [...]

because when a noc ast has a drk in his party he could think the same: he has his own shield, why should i spend ressources on him? it's a 20% shield (based on your max HP) with only a 15 sec cooldown, so you can use it on yourself basically for (likely) every single tank buster the boss throws at you. one ss in grit gives you enough mana to activate it. that means you trade one dark arts for a shield, but the shield can give you 50 blood, so it's not even a real dps loss.

Because the astro shield also heals is instant and we could use those resources for dps, or you could just use rampart for the buster and have the ast shield you and continue to dps while the astro does two jobs at once healing and mitigating at the same time while your shield only does one job and the shield only gives back if it breaks.

Just to add as serious astro player to i would rather i use my cd's and skills to heal and protect the tank before the tank has to burn any of his own cds. Also im pretty sure all healers have a shield now.
