It's trivial for a PLD to go dry on TP, and it's the only tank with no way to get it back without begging the NIN. That's why the suggestions I made way, way back on page 1 all include ways for PLD to recover TP that aren't straight clones of Equilibrium/Purify/Invigorate, and work with the existing skills PLD already has.
