That doesn't improve PLD's overall survivability because you trade more casts of Clemency with having lossless healing. You might as well put a separate oGCD healing skill for that if you want to increase PLD's overall survivability without DPS loss.
Except you're never in any scenario where you need to actually halt DPS to pump Clemency. Not in any kind of content that actually matters.

And solo content doesn't matter, anyway, because other tanks are better at soloing stuff than PLD is, WAR especially. I think y'all are dramatically underestimating how much healing over time the combo finishers are... which PLD doesn't get. If PLD needs any added healing, it's on Royal Authority (or Atonement, I guess?)
