Cover is a life saver and a great situational skill, just like clemency is.
Removing them just takes away a unique and situational skill.
And no, having Clemency on a oGCD with one charge does not help.
I want to spam that heal to save a run, I don't care about my dmg and rotation when I can save a run and clear.
Clemency made my groups first p4s clear possible, cover saved multiple runs in e12s by putting it in a healer.

They can be extremely strong and make things possible that no other tank can do, but they are situational and not used under normal circumstances.
And this is a big part I like about PLD.
