Tank DPS Ranking prediction.

[Reynhart]

Thinking PLD is somehow better than Warrior, either because of their stances (they're statistically unimportant, Defiance and Shield Oath break near par), or that Paladin has Bulwark as an additional CD (since their block is now matched by warrior's parry ability), is ridiculous.

IB is on demand, 20% damage reduction, so instead of having to blow a CD to get a 30% dmg reduction (on a single large hit, maybe two if the duration lasts long enough), warriors have it everytime whenever a big hit is coming, which we all know FFXIV tanking rotations revolved around big, predictable, mitigatable hits.

You take Raw Intuition into account, but you forget Sheltron. Cause 30s cooldown allows you to pop it on every big hit, above one of the big cooldowns.
Biased...maybe ?

I haven't touched my PLD during EA, but when I look on Shield_Oath, it says it reduces damage taken by 25%. Is it a "stealth" upgrade or a typo ?

Fight or Flight, in Shield Oath, is a net gain of 4%.

If the above link is true, and depending on how damage mutlipiers are applied, Flight Or Fight, at best, negates Shield Oath for 20s. It's basically a quicker Unchained, now, yet WAR still have Berserk on top of it.
