It is a great situational tool for potd/hoh over world mobs and potentially the new criterion dungeons.

Overall I like and would like to keep the situational skills of a paladin, that's a unique part of him.

I can't count the amount of runs and death's I saved with cover. See it like rescue, but without the troll aspect.
The wing's can be used frequently in the current content because everyone is stacked anyway. And in addition to it you have a shield for everyone.
That PLD does not profit of it's own group CDs is again, part of the class identity and makes him different from the other tanks. Also, Tanks don't need the group mitigation for raid wides.

When they rework part's of him then I just hope that they keep his situational kit as it is.
Yeah I really hope they remove nothing. Wings are awesome, and shield bash is awesome in deep dungeons. Being able to chain stun enemies hugely increase your survival chances, especially if you stun them when they're about to use a nasty skill and/or they die fast enoguh to keep them stunned the whole fight. Just because a skill isn't used for raiding it doens't make it useless.
