What makes Power Guard useful is not the measly 50% damage reflected back, but as pointed out by many warriors now, it's the ability to halve 50% physical damage, and 25% physical damage against bosses. Without Power Guard, Paladin and Hero are as effectively "non-warriors" defense-wise as any mage class - and in effect, will tend to burn more potions because we're always within hugging range of monster.
The other most important use of Power Guard, not mentioned by anyone here yet, is its effects of giving a 2nd-3rd job Page/Fighter/Sader/WK pseudo-stance, enabling them to walk through mobs easily for fast mobbing.
