Tank adjustments we can agree on?

I still say this would mess with tanking at lower levels [to increase Halone potency...]
Considering the course of action when this happens is Swap => Provoke => Shield Lob/Tomahawk/Unmend, this isn't as big a problem as one would think.
Except making it easier to use on yourself takes PLD survivability to levels it should not be. You're making a clear choice to use it, and it has to have an opportunity cost. The ability was clearly added for use while not being the MT or for raid-damage situations.

The thing with Halone potency is you don't even get it at the lowest levels (when Flash is actually your greatest hate generator) and Paladin doesn't get Shield Oath until way later than the other tanks get their tank stance (Sword Oath comes first). If anything, it would improve balance in holding hate at lower levels to increase Halone's potency. It would be broken as you say for lvls. 40-54, but at every other level would be an improvement. When you look at BRD and DRK and other jobs that are insanely overpowered low level, it's clear they don't care at all about fine-tuning balance outside of max level anyway and I think that's fine.

Provoke=>Lob is not even close to being enough hate if your DPS are good (Just spamming your Halone). You are right that there are ways to work around this (for example, having a Ninja solves the problem entirely), but it is a disadvantage to the two when OTing.

Reducing Clemency's cast any more than a second (to 2 seconds to match Cure II) is clearly overpowered. I agree with you on that and don't want the skill itself to be changed. I do wish it came with an ability to resist interruptions so that you could use it reliably while MT without having to stack another defensive cooldown (and therefore often making it unnecessary), but I think the skill is very good as it is. The only problem with Clemency is that SE seems to think that's enough in terms of TP management as OT, but it's worth nothing if you don't actually need it.
