DRK is now very likely to get more self-sustain not because the job needs it to clear any content (you can MT Savage or run an expert dungeon with 3DPS as DRK already), but because other tanks have it, and other tanks have it because WAR has it in excess.
It's a bit more naunced than that. Before 6.X PLD had 0 selfhealing in any normal situation, which wasn't nearly compensated by the slightly higher mitigation, and didn't feel very good imo. This was the state of PLD sustain in 5.X https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...unt&metric=hps, and for dungeons https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...ps&class=Tanks Like always it's a balancing act. PLD sustain now to strong, but it did actually warrant some buffs after 5.X.

Removing healing from the Requiescat combo and Holy Sheltron would feel a bit jarring when you level up. At level 84 you finally get some much needed self healing. But a few levels later, that would be significantly reduced against when you switch from Requiescat > Holy Circle/Spirit spam (with selfheals), to the level 90 Requiescat combo (without selfheals). For PLD selfhealing nerfs I'd remove healing from all attacks, and increase the healing from Holy Sheltron a bit.
