I agree with what you say, but i'll add that we're currently already being 100% left in the dust by Paladin. They even have more effective means of restoring their health, hell they are so good compared to us that they can solo tank some bosses just using their own clemency heals and mitigation abilities. You'd think the tank that has health draining would be the more long-lasting one without a healer but nope, Paladin has even that over us.
