The simple fix for this is to create situations under which its not a dps loss to use. Back during Gordias, Frosty did a show on tanks, and Layla noted that all you need do is give PLD a free swiftcast proc for Clemency off of either a successful block or off of Sheltron. It's a very elegant solution, and that was back in Heavensward! Now you have a versatile self-sustain ability. If you need to use it on demand, you can do so at the cost of your dps. But at baseline, you'll also get instant cast procs that you can weave into your rotation for no cost and no damage loss. Now you don't need all this Holy Vampiric Spirit nonsense. This is a PLD self-sustain aesthetic: I cast healing spells on myself and my allies. Sometimes they're free, but I also have the chance of putting out more to keep the team alive at the cost of dps.

If my memory serve me right,you can requiescat+Clemency but it still trigger a gcd...
