    Every other tank plays exactly like a DPS with 1 or 2 mitigations and 1 radial party buff.

    At least PLD has:
    A physical AND magical rotation to alternate
    A healing action
    4 actions to actively protect the party/an ally (like an actual TANK should)

    Having so many optional but handy actions to use feels FUN to me. If enmity management was thrown away for casual appeal then all I have left to feel like a real tank are several actions I can cycle between to defend allies. If every kit has to be valued only based on rigid raid rotations PLD would be boring as hell.

    Dark Knight used to have a lot of Magic, that was(only in ARR) and is not Paladin exclusive, as current Dark Knight still has a few spells... And...
    Paladin is not the only Tank with a healing action... All Tanks have healing actions, Paladin's healing action is just a spell, where the others all use abilities.
    also.. Dark Knight has The Blackest Night, a Barrier that can protect allies, and GunBreaker has Heart of Stone...

    none of what you said is Paladin exclusive, Paladin just does those things in a more direct manner.
