I feel your pain. I'm not gonna lie, there have been a few times where I've been slotted with a good Blm or Whm and I actually feel bad for the enemy healer. The thing is, that kind of coordination is rare and easy to screw up. If the whm or blm cast sleep before my maximum stun duration is over, then they wasted either their CC or mine (depending on if I caught it or not). Further, that lengthy duration is meant to compensate for Pld's abysmal Dps.

A Pld cannot single burst a target in Feast. Unlike War, Pld has next to no burst potential. Unless the healer is asleep (and I mean the actual player, not their avi), any dmg a Pld can do is easily heal-able. So the only real threat that they pose on the battle field is in how much time they can buy the dps. Pld is designed for setting up the team with opportunities. Their stun rotation is, by far, the best tool they have for doing that. If you take away the Pld's ability to provide those opportunities, then they're practically dead in the water. Even with their increased party defense (which is also designed to allow the dps to fight harder and longer), the best they could hope to do is to delay the inevitable, because they do not have any other way of facilitating kills (which is the only way to actually win).
