Can you be certain people would be equally as fond of 3.X DRK if PLD in the same time could block magic, have access to its current iteration of cover, and do equal DPS?
I leveled Dark Knight last of all my tanks. I swapped to primarily Dark Knight because I found it more fun. Paladin was a non-option in most fights, but I had no qualms with Warrior or the power it put out. I just found Dark Knight more interesting.

I just wish I could say that still felt true outside of BW-Quietus spam situations, which are still pathetic compared to IR-Deci spams.
