Having a full DT set and a hybrid is going to become essential as gear for melee continues to creep.
Dealing damage is very important if a group is using a Pld or Run instead of all DDs for Unity 135s.

»Aside from Job Point parties, if a PLD is getting invited to a party then accuracy is usually not a concern. The main focus is just being able to hold hate and trying to be indestructible. Enemies these days spam so much crap that you'll probably be paralyzed, full dispelled, amnesia, TP drained, or whatever to even be able to use your WS very often.
The reason why accuracy is not a concern for those fights is because they're out of reach by any conventional means. Melee aren't used.
The main focus of being indestructible is acceptable in a magic burst setup. Holding hate is trivial when
the amount of enmity generated from damage dealt during magic bursts has been decreased.
However, insert melee and you will absolutely need to keep up with them. Being able to maintain a large fraction of their overall damage will help to share hate. Both will eventually share hate and bounce it.
Tripling the enmity cap simply wasn't enough for what an equipped melee or BST is capable of today.
