A team built around PLD has done WP in 8 minutes flat. I've not heard of anything under 12 for WAR, and achieving less than 15 requires considerably more effort. This is because PLD has twice the burst eHP of a WAR plus vastly superior mitigation from blocking and Flash's blind effect. Not many people are running around claiming that WP speed-runs can't be done with WAR, but it's invariably a stand-in for a job more suited to the task. PLD can do it with a much lower gear requirement due to scaling directly with damage rate (i.e. any gear weakness is mitigated by abilities), and when fully geared, PLD takes much less damage, leaving the WHM to nuke the field.

Regardless, lots of jobs get left behind for WP speedruns. Everyone wants the super-easy group, which is PLD/WHM/BRD/BLM. It's the quickest way to the most gil. Though, now that I think about it, every single Twintania run I've seen contains these 4 jobs as well. C'est la vie, I guess.
