The biggest bonus of PLD is giving melee a chance of survival while taking less damage thus relieving WHMs and allowing them to throw some heals on the melee too.

So in the end it's just 2 ways of tanking, with people preferring WARs currently.
If PLD can't survive fighting of multiple enemies solo but WAR can, then there is a balance issue.

I'll do more test later on +Lv50's
