It's simply very inefficient to waste one of your big dps cooldowns so your healer can spam their 140-160 potency aoe over your 375 potency aoe.
That is all fine and good, but as a tank my sole purpose is to stay alive. I will forever use clemency to keep myself up, or the healer alive. Don't really care about doing "efficient" DPS when people are dying. I think everyone that fights the use of clemency thinks every paladin just spams it every rotation.

I use clemency in emergencies like healer is one shot, or healer healing themselves, and hard casting a raise. DPS goes out the window when the chips are down, and being a good tank is protecting those with no armor not just min-maxing your DPS. In a tight static yeah Clemency wouldn't be used as much if not at all, but PUG's and BS faceroll content?....give me a break.
