This combined with Equilibrium being on a fairly short cooldown, and Upheaval getting bonus damage from defiance, means that WAR could potentially be -the- definitive Main Tank going forward. Along with that is PLD's incredible support and utility skills in Intervention and Cover 2.0, along with their sheer amount of damage output between their two buffs and holy spirit.

Loathe as I am to admit it given my previous complaints about how tanking plays right now, Defiance Warrior is likely the new strongest tank from a defensive standpoint, especially when backed up by a Paladin. I still probably won't play it, but facts are facts.
Moot point: PLD can block (so inner beasts boon of effecting magic while block doesn't is nullified, with block coming ahead). Equilibrium is shared. Rampart is shared. Paladin has more more group utility, many of which also effect the paladin themselves (like divine veil). PLD has Bulwark, it has Sentinel (which WAR has no equivalent to). Dont know why you included Upheaval at all since PLD has the same skill: Spirits Within.

Its not like having two paladins would prevent one of the paladins from using their kit. Being able to have two interventions is better than having one intervention and one.... nothing, WAR offers the group nothing aside from a damage buffs that others can give.
