    PLD doing less damage isn't a bug in the balancing, it's completely intentional in exchange of the utility. If they reworked the rotation to line up better with the party buffs then the damage would be taxed elsewhere. You are asking for completely arbitrary homogenization when PLD performs perfectly fine (or its damage could be brought up just by potency adjustments if you feel it's too low). It might work fine, yes, but the track record for these type of reworks isn't great and whatever alleged huge issues the buff windows bring are vastly preferable to yet another job butchery.
