for Ifrit I can share my experience as healer. Currently I prefer WAR as tank because it has higher HP, so better buffer on damage. While actually PLD is not bad either, but PLD takes similar damage (because of elemental attack?).As someone said, if the healer(s) getting cracks on last phase, it will be serious danger on the WAR tank, this is when PLD is better on WAR coz the self sufficiency (except when they run out of MP lol)

PLD's really need to start investing in mp regens lol. BRD songs could probably help too? Do ppl use that with PLD's?

Ifrit is a pretty good example where PLD vs WAR is not necessarily clear-cut. Elemental dmg makes def useless so you'd probably go with WAR due to more hp. In emergencies, as you said, PLD is preferable due to its abilities. Maybe PLD's should meld HP/block to their gear, taking their naturally buffed defense as is. Maybe they should meld healing potency too?

Ppl just gotta figure it out~ give PLD the right pieces, and the right player, and we'll see how it really compares lol.

my tank prefer tanking on GLA than PLD, cant blame it lol, more access on cross class skills. Thing is, PLD should get better defense/hp than now. I notice PLD job skill is rarely used on Ifrit...lets check:
- Cover : they only can cover melee such as MNK
- Divine veil: maybe useful, but on ifrit run usually we use 2 WHMs, so kinda pointless
- Spirit Within: not sure if it is useful or not
- Hallowed ground : uh, continous stoneskin is much better that this, ifrit damage mostly elemental anyway
- Holy succor: need coordination to make it useful,again because usually Ifrit run use 2 WHMs
