How are you planning on balancing the Oath gauge with Clemency when PLD has so much lossless healing? As it stands, 40-50 Oath gauge means PLD has less casts and flexibility, whereas 20-30 Oath Gauge would mean PLD is broken (up to 5000 to 7500 potency worth of healing).

oGCD just means it doesn't conflict with your GCD actions. However, having a reduced number of casts reduces the overall amount of healing. If your argument is changing Clemency to oGCD makes PLD have more survival, that's completely wrong because less overall potency =/= more survival. All it means is that Clemency can be used without DPS loss.
If Sheltron doesn't cost gauge, it effectively means you get two Clemency casts per gauge on top of a Sheltron cast. That's better than the current standard of two Sheltrons and no Clemency casts.
