It feels really stupid.

Perhaps the constant buffs to magic phase will push it out, we'll see.
I think the buffs to its Magic Phase are mostly to try and push its numbers up so it can compare to the other tanks in a raid setting - albeit they've made PLD more monstrous in a dungeon setting by giving Confiteor 1k potency on top of Expiacion being more powerful.

As for FoF, I think that pre-pull is mostly for fight timing - something that can be important to have in some fights like Barbie where you have multiple instances of interruption(Hair Tethers) or flat out downtime(first transition).
