I found Egyl very very useful drawing aggro with his insane defense and Cover is a godsend of an ability against hard hitting bosses. I can get Lenne to easily stack all her buffs (which makes her defense very vulnerable) with Egyl covering her, drawing all the aggro and absorbing all attacks. Not to mention he has the full heal spell (which he can only use on himself mind you) so he almost becomes an unkillable wall of defense.

My party of Glenn, Lenne, Egyl and Victor were unstoppable and complimented each other's abilities very well.

Glenn to debuff enemies and heal Lenne's TP when she uses Elemental Pact. Egyl to draw aggro and cover Lenne and also apply Dry status to further stack elemental weakness on enemies. Victor to apply buffs and heal when necessary. Lenne to completely annihilate enemies with Water Thrust for single targets and Water Jump for multiple targets.

This really does completely break the game's difficulty though but my point is, Egyl rocks and the people saying he sucks completely misunderstand his usefulness in battles.
