personally, as a paladin, i feel like i am a very useful part outside my tanking role....and i know that all the other paladins and sk's and rangers feel the same. we are extremely versatile with our role, instead of being stuck like the others.
think that means we have a greater benefit TBH
and i played a paladin back on live as well...i lived with it back then, and i chose to do it yet again on p99 soley because i was so useful in groups and raids. granted, once kunark and veilous hit, hybrids were definately not as spectacular as they once were, but thats because of so much new content and balancing.
but in live, a hybrid tank is so much more useful than a warrior tank due to their ability to snatch aggro, keep it, let the warrior build theirs, and then switch to an alt healer or off tank while the warrior lets their weapon contiune proc'ing....thats pretty damn impressive for a class that doesnt have any greater benefit than another class.
