It's a bit more than that. It keeps a teammate that's low on MP from needing to use a recuperate they don't have. It messes with enemy teams trying to focus one person. The few PLDs I've seen in the upper ranks are really good at messing with people that way, and keeping the 5v5 from becoming an unfavorable 4v5 - until their team can turn it into a 5v4 instead.

Not to say that PLD couldn't use a little help. But it at least has some pretty good uses.
