Secondly, Yoshi P stated if he delivers something to the players that isn't fun, he has failed.

The current iteration of Delirium, and Living Dead(Worst CD in the entire game IMO) are not fun.

No, its not "sifnificantly superior" whatever that means.

Utility is situational, protect and intervention cost you Gauge that is used for sheltron, which of generation is not as good to let you use it all the time, both abilities are almost completely useless or pointless outside raids where PLD is OT.
Clemency cost you a ton of dps and its just a waste of space, passage of arms is not any better than heart of light or dark missionary, you could only use it in specific boss phases once a run, those two you could use any time you want.
Divine veil is a weaker equivalent of shake it off, you need to cast clemency if you want to make sure you will proc it.
Paladin as a OT does bring a lot, but so does DRK with his one and only TBN which he could use every 15 seconds.
Utility that PLD brings to the party barely ever has any impact on the overall team performance, because he cannot spam it and it wont bring a lot on certain situations.
I agree on hollowed ground, it is where paladin should get credit for, but then again it does come with gimmick of 7 minute long cooldown.

Saying PLD is superior because of utility is ridiculous exageration, no he is not, he is lacking on sustain department and it does hurt him. Warrior could heal himself and his friend to ful during nascent flash, DRK could spam TBN allowing healer to deal damage and this does affect their performance a lot more than any utility pld could offer.

PLD having 1-2% damage higher is on the edge of measurement error.
In dungeons he does bring a little more damage, but he is also slower due to the lack of reliable sustain. Ask any healer who they like to heal more, they will tell you warrior and DRK are easiest to heal.
