This would put PLD in an even worse position than it currently is. PLD's pretty comparable to DRK in SwO, but it's about 20% less DPS in ShO than a Grit DRK; forcing PLD to fulltime ShO without changing anything else about the class would just push it even further into trash-tier. If SE eliminated tank DPS contributions to the calculated DPS checks, they'd also push the content in favor of WAR/DRK because they can get content on farm faster by helping the raid beat the check faster (while staying in tank stance).
