Yes it is. Only bad players who are only able to fixate on the ideal run make claims like this. Now, I wouldn't say Clemency is even good, but it's far from "not usable."
PLD has the worst mitigation. PLD offers a short damage reduction on another player with Intervention, and a 250 potency regen over 12 seconds. The other 3 tanks have better buttons. Divine Veil is certainly okay, but Shake It Off is superior in multiple ways.

Only bads think Clemancy is usable when it's a massive DPS loss to PLD's already terrible DPS. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you're in a position to use Clemancy, you've either already wiped or are doing easy content that doesn't really matter. I'd rather a WAR throw Bloodwhetting up instead of a PLD Clemancy me because I know they're sacrificing so much DPS for it. Then you have wings, which again, not particularly usable for DPS loss and I'm not even sure it works on all boss transitions.

Cover is novel, but since they removed Cover HG how often do you actually get to use it in relevant content?
