How do these changes fix the issues with Paladin?

[Ashkendor]

Raids as Paladin:
Cooldowns; Bulwark & Sheltron only useful in A2S or on AA damage, Hallowed Ground & Sentinel's long CDs makes them critical use only - if you mess up you're unable to recover - "Paladin is the best (???) at mitigation"

I pop Bulwark in A1S if I get Prey. I barely need heals at all from it.

Personally I did Paladin main thinking gear might solve it's issues - it is my highest iLv; and it functions worse than both my lower iLv WAR & DRK.

Yep... My PLD at i201 is arguably worse than my DRK at i193. :/

My 158 DRK feels like she's a better tank than my 196 PLD. DRK has an enormous AoE toolkit, mitigation that's just about as good as PLD (in some cases better), and a more compelling gameplay style.

And to agree with OP, these changes won't help that. Sure, I'll do more DPS against the mob I have targeted. But I'm not worried about that mob; I'm worried about the seven others that the BLM keeps pulling off of me. And Flash only does so much.

EDIT: I should not have to save my only offensive CD for AoE enmity or risk losing all of it. CoS doesn't do the trick without it.
