This whole idea about Utility vs DPS is a red herring anyway. When in the history of this game did the meta ever take the highest utility tank with lower DPS than the less utility tank? Never that's when.

THIS.
It's ALWAYS DPS>utilty.

If PLD's DPS was to suddenly drop about 10% below both tanks, but keep their utility, they'd be in the trash for another expansion. The only time utility actually matters is if it boosts your damage. Otherwise you'll make do with whatever little utility the job with more DPS happens to offer.

Anyone that tells you they'd bring a PLD that did 200+ less than WAR and DRK in favor of their utilty are lying through their teeth. This game doesn't, and will never need such a massive amount of defensive mitigation.
