You can get away with Sword Oath during Titan Heart phase. Otherwise yeah, if you're not doing WP/AK, I would stay in Shield Oath.

As for the topic at hand, I don't find PLD boring, but it can get tedious. Thing is, this game has the armory system, so I can switch to Monk or go play WHM or SCH if I need a change of pace.
