Cover - Take both Physical and Magical damage, instead of only Physical.
I see your suggestions, and counter with some alterations. The things I removed I didn't agree with.

Edit:

I like Spirits as-is, and your ShO adjustment doesn't fix MT PLD issues (lower threat gen and lower DPS than other tanks). Mitigation is literally the only thing PLD has going for it, and increasing passive mitigation even more with ShO isn't really necessary.
Your SwO adjustment is absurdly strong, even with PLD's lower DPS output. Consider that literally every class that can is required to take Internal Release, and that only has a 17% uptime; similarly, Battle Litany is also a massive DPS boost with its 8% uptime. Your suggestion gives double IR's bonus all the time.

Royal Authority doesn't need to interact with Clemency at all, being a DPS chain closer.
Shield Bash interrupts combos because you have to anticipate when you want to use it, and if you need it between combo pieces, that's on you. That's the price you pay for being able to chain stun things with the longest stun duration skill.

I'd love to buff Circle of Scorn's DOT effect, because its added enmity is a huge boost to group threat and characteristically something PLD is weakest at. I'm not sure how well that would play with an OT PLD who wants to keep the DOT up as often as possible, though.
