the ffxiv pld IS the Knight, unfortunately.

to incorporate curing into the PLD mechanics requires a complete overhaul of the job though... in ffxi, self-heals were ok because they generated a fair amount of hate with all the +enmity gear. in this game, even if you are able to cure for as much as a whm would, it doesnt generate nearly as enough hate as your combos to make cure appropriate party tools.

i'm perfectly fine with how pld is right now by focusing on high mitigation, although to be able to cast more potent cures would be very nice for emergencies.
