I picked bucc from shad because it would accentuate the skills of a bucc more than a pally would. Pallys don't have cooldown skills worth having TL for, and their attacks are generally slow so charging energy doesn't get any better. Pallys get stance, which invalidates most of the point of energy anyway, but shads have beast avoid on top of i-frames so stance is less necessary. The only drawback is lack of attack modifiers, but you make up for that in speed through FJ and damage through SP. Having ME for wep def up would be awesome too, since buccs don't have any way to prevent it nor anything to do while it's up. Both pallys and shads have HP healing skills which are complemented by drain, but a shad-pally wouldn't have MP recovery. MPrec is pretty much needed to be a true efficient tank.
