P1N Warrior solo kill

"Oh, no, my 60-to-65-second macrorotation allows me more than a single option by which to push out a bit more short-term damage over burst periods prior to forced downtime... for which raid buffs are held anyways."

But, let me guess, if Goring Blade gave 24 seconds' of duration, up from its present 21, the rotation would be in shambles (despite you still doing the same exact thing, just with a bit more downtime leniency and further capacity in sustained two-target cleave).

Not everything has to be rigidly cut and dry and having 2 GCDs of flex space does not turn a rotation into "nonsense"; it merely makes it more flexible.

PLD simply needs a bit more damage overall (no, that flexible space is not what's causing the damage gap between you and DRK/GNB, or else Warrior wouldn't be similarly far behind) and a trait by which to duplicate SkS to SpS (at which point it could then usefully go for as low as a 2.42s GCD as it wishes for alignment purposes).

Tell me you don't play paladin without been paladin XD

I get it; remembering to skip 2 Atonements per cycle may be hard for you, and that's okay. But a small degree of complexity by way of having other options does not "nonsense" make.
