Possibly its recast time could be reduced, but boosting block rates and outmaneuver would combat most of the problems with PLD.

Then again there may just a difference in playstyle required by PLD that we just aren't getting.
This. Personally I would prefer Spirits Within combo bonus to do something like MP recovery or HP recovery rather than damage, and seeing how it's recast is quite long that doesn't seem too unreasonable. I would be perfectly happy with Outmaneuver becoming useful. Boosted block rate makes sense as well.

I would like changes like this, as I want to use PLD, but I feel as though I'm compelled to use GLA instead. In a party situation you should be compelled to use the Job, which does not seem to be the case right now.
