Fix paladin. Only Class in the entire game that cannot...

Why effectively remove Flash, only to then bake it into Circle of Scorn? You're changing Flash to a physical Unleash, and then giving CoS a blind. Why though?

Additionally, a couple points of interest: Right now every PLD oGCD does identical maximum single-target dps over time. That seems very intentional, even if not especially important, on SE's part. This would break that, and I'm not sure for what benefit.
How? Because of the real point here: Blind = mitigation = healer dps. Potentially.

Flash's real concerns, in my opinion are simply these:
- Too many enemies are immune it its effects.
- It cannot stack.

Both can be fixed, though both may require something slightly new coding-wise to remain balanced, and the latter may require an element of compromise.
- If Blind were to work on everything, the potential % accuracy decrease could serve alike to an on-demand Dark Arts - Dark Dance. This would be overpowered when that could potentially save some 12k health. Especially when you consider that your only other way of generating that health, Clemency, would have cost you RNG mitigation during its cast and would take up almost half your mana. Alternatively, when incoming damage is quite low, the added healer dps uptime it may cause might not be worth even a single Fast Blade. As such, the blind needs to aim for a potency-equivalent level of accuracy reduction. In other words, the stronger you get compared to the enemy, the stronger the Blind gets. Your GCDs lost on Flash over time should have fairly obvious returns in the form of healer dps or stance-dancing. -- I believe this system would have benefits game-wide.
- The second issue is that Flash gains no benefit for being used before the duration fades completely, as not to lose maximum debuff uptime over the diminishing returns, whereas its competing tank AoEs can be spammed. This doesn't mean that it needs to be scrapped and replaced with yet another damage AoE. It just needs to have the ability to be burst as needed similarly to the others without having counter-synergy, lest the theoretical strength of the ability (without that counter-synergy) be too strong as to balance for these more practical uses. To that end, it needs to be able to either add effect (e.g. flat accuracy reduction, where the enemy's base accuracy increases as you get into more serious content, making a lesser % effect in later tiers assuming the same player strength), or duration (while the initial effect is increased and more standardized but the duration is dependent on enemy strength). -- I believe both of these systems, too, will need to be added eventually into the game.

And there you have a Flash that remains Flash, unique, a tankily tank AoE, while meeting those "absolute needs".

For me, as a "Main tank" it should have focused its survival on healing, being the only tank that requires knowledge in magic, and as an "Off tank", on covering people in time of need.
Two things that are severely downplayed.

A blunt idea that could have been interesting is allowing Rampart and Sentinel to be used on a target. Maybe the enhanced version would only apply when used on you, to not be too powerful. And Cover made into a trait triggered by critical HP and proximity.

What difference does it make whether you Rampart someone else or take the blow yourself with Rampart active, except that you have more base mitigation that most and would have access to the enhanced versions. Sure, we'd potentially want something for when Provoke or Cover are down, but I for one would rather then see our snap-tanking capabilities improved rather than going a SCH-ish route of saving people from afar. Generally speaking.

I still do feel a little peeved that Shelltron neither covers allies behind you, nor (in the form of something like "Aegis Boon" instead) can it be cast on others for a more direct shield. (Which would be SCH af, so I accept all accusations of hypocrisy.)
