What I've learned about the new PLD:

1: Divine Veil + Outmaneuver = yum MP/TP. Divine Veil forces partial guarding, so you get Outy's perks for free.
2: Divine Veil + TP = Phalanx spam = damage. While not alot, significantly more than meleeing.
3: Divine Veil = no physical pushbacks. Tested on Buata, didn't budge an inch.
4: Enmity from Spirits Within = somewhat insignificant. Not entirely stoked about using it as a dealmaker.
5: AF = still garbage.
6: HP = same. WAR's better for one versus many/brickhouse-slamming mobs.
7: Cover = meh.
