And given the changes listed in the patch notes, they don't even come close to providing the same kind of safety net having another WHM does. If your 1 WHM dies your PLD can't really take over main healing efficiently, you don't have chainspell raises to get your down WHM alive again, AoE cures, regen, the list goes on.

The mitigation PLD has is practically the same as a WAR with exception of the force blocks, which are only useful in certain situations. When your PLD and WAR both get hit with glower and take 3,000 damage and your PLD has 3,500 HP vs your WAR's 4,500...yeah.
