When, and that is a decently sized when, they do take damage they take low damage with PG off, lower with it on, the reflection component is just fail. As much as i would like sexy strong legs skill on both warriors, i guess something that would be more paladin appropriate would be some sort of guard party/party member skill. Like share their damage or something like that. It'd almost have to only work on only one party member to be job appropriate. I don't know i don't have any ideas nearly as good as that passive. While i'm all for different classes having different skills i just cant think of anything defensive based that is useful without being too good for a second job skill. And seriously, power guard doesnt fit the straight-offense hero theme, and the skill just isnt that useful for either warrior that has it.
Well it's not as counterproductive. If Power Guard wasn't given to Heroes, Paladins have to be nerfed in some way to compensate for having a constant 50% physical damage reduction while Heroes take near full damage like a DrK but without the Hyperbody for a bigger damage buffer. Also, Power Guard is used for taking less damage, not to reflect damage back. If a Paladin needs Power Guard to deal more damage they are clearly doing it wrong. What's a 1500 damage reflect compared to a 450k+ Blast?
