PLD viable for speed runs?

[YuriSan]

I'm almost 50 on my PLD and want to start gearing him for end game content. I don't want to jump on the warrior bandwagon because I generally like sword and board more. I hear that PLD has been buffed in recent patches, but I was wondering if they are any good for speed runs now. I know I'd be able to do primals and other content, but I'd like to get in those dungeons and get some darklight gear.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, for both dungeons you can do 25min TA aswell as 17min TA with a PLD as a tank.
(no need to switch to WAR at all)
