Whatever the PLD does in those 25s should outweigh whatever a DPS does for single target or AoE.
Apart from CoS, PLD can only WS one target at a time. Against BLM or BRD, who can deal good damage on several targets, I understand how that could be a problem. Or even compared to a WAR spamming Overpower.
