The PoA can be used as an OGCD party or self mit but the timing is tight and in general not worth going for (outside of for yourself). The biggest issue for it for me is the damage you deal by yourself as PLD is low compared to the other tanks and it is *felt*. This is due to it being sustained damage vs. fitting in the current 2-minute burst design though. (which is why, unfortunately, it's being reworked.)

I do believe all tanks should have a higher skill ceiling (I feel like GNB is in a relatively good spot for that, actually), although I'm not sure how they would go about it. I'm hard pressed they would give us personal enmity management and considering their current rework history outside of Monk and 5.1 ninja...yeah.
