Indeed. But that also tends to mean the healer runs back into the instance/uses Return and starts raising people while the raid leader works out the plan for the next attempt. When that happens I usually offer to help raise people, which cuts down on recovery time in a large raid (I was a ret paladin in WoW, which means my role was DPS yet I had weak heals and a rez that went generally unused outside of certain procs and is also why XIV's approach to PLD makes sense to me).
Meanwhile, while Raise is an extremely situational tool outside of combat, and completely unusable in combat, other jobs are enjoying essential cross-class skills that enhance their role in almost every situation. As it stands right now, none of the Conjurer skills enhance a Paladin, which is a big handicap in comparison to other jobs.
I'm not sure what we would be missing out. We have Bloodbath, Foresight and Fracture from MRD to help the tanking game (though again, our tanking model is pretty good on its own). CNJ simply gives us utility.
