All it does is make the PLD more specalized. Riot Blade branching path is a stupid idea without major changes to threat generation and TP management. 

PLD's biggest weakness was AOE tanking and that wasn't addressed at all.

think outside the box bro!

when you're offtanking, you can utilize the second combo branch because you don't need enmity if you're not MT.

If you are the MT, and have already established enmity on a monster or boss you can use the second combo branch.

I do not off-tank without a warrior in end-game content, so it's unlikely I'd get much use out of it.

For MTing, if I can really spend a lot of time not doing a threat combo, then your DPS isn't doing enough imo. For super long fights, I could see it being useful as I could fit in 1-2 DPS combos every so often, but the strength down debuff is far more important than the extra DPS (even though I'm getting close to 300 on FCOB).

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
