    Irrelevant, if you are doing a comparison of War DPS to PLD DPS, then you compare them as appropriate.

    Warrior without defiance vs PLD with Sword oath.
    In such a scenario, the two are very close if not the exact same.

    When you consider tanking/
    Shield oath is 20%.
    Defiance is 25%.
    You're only doing SLIGHTLY less damage than a Warrior in Defiance mode vs PLD in Shield oath mode, to the point that it does not even matter.
    Yes, Warrior has the ability to provide stronger burst, but that is irrelevant because in the end, over the course of the encounter, they come out to roughly the same.

    Let alone that in terms of threat generation, Warrior is only SLIGHTLY better than it as well, and that's only because of BB>BB>SE constantly being used.
    Paladin doesn't have to apply a debuff to create maximum threat, and it has FoF, where as WAR has Berserk which is weaker than FoF.

    Fact of the matter is threat is threat.
    As long as you are top of the list and maintain being top of the list, then it does not matter.
