" PS: Where do you get your numbers of WAR getting so much more dmg then a PLD? He doesn't...plus if you're using the same tank equip on PLD AND WAR (Ifrit Gear????), the only option would be Sentinels, or Cobalts Equip, which will make the WAR HP Pool still an easy 800HP+ more then PLDs "

Negative big guy, I like Ifrit as a test because if you dont adress the magic attack and physical attack portions of the fight your gona take heavy damage from either if not both ends, seeing how PLD is op on the Physical damage defelction I op my gear twards fire resist the result is 22k ish damage in a 9 min fight. Now maybe thats not good enough for you but no matter how you stack the gear , stats or skill of player , fact is PLD still holds enough hate to do as well as WAR and further more brings damage deflection , party support and and self heals/buffs to the fight where as WAR only brings hate control higher HP and moderate dd... its a simple decision between pros and cons, frankly pld has more pros then WAR in my book, but that may be just the way I play PLD .
