My idea is make outmaneuver increase block rate keep doing what its does, but the buff doesn't have a duration; possibly increase the block rate more than it is now. Make divine veil decrease damage taken by a %, amount the DEVs should decide, and still have the AoE regen effect.

This way, you have two tanking toggle buffs that are totally different and can't on at the same time. Also, makes playing the paladin feel less frantic.

Now you would...

When you need TP/MP and blocking, toggle outmaneuver up.

When you need flat damage reduction and party healing, toggle divine veil up.
That actually sounds good. I think that can make all the difference needed to cement PLD as the defensive tank without having to mess around with traits and stats and all that jazz that may take more work and resources.
