Pally Epic DPS is nothing to laugh at with the 41% haste. Double Attack with a hard hitting 2her like FD + the 155 Stun Proc produces some juicy numbers.

Compare to similarly geared Rogue or Monk and you'll quickly notice that Paladin is a tank and not ever to be confused with or described as a DPS class. Compare apples to apples (tanks to tanks) and you'll see that equivalently geared Warrior or SK outdamages the Paladin (not by much, but when you tout the damage output of a Paladin you're asking to be shown the light.) Sure, compared to indifferently geared EC twinks an epic'd & planar geared Paladin looks good,
just as any other class looks good when they're geared far better than those they're compared to.
The Paladin's a knight tank, enough HP/AC to make Complete Heal powerful and to not be insta-gibbed except by the most outrageous raid bosses (the one bone the EQ devs tossed Warriors) plus excellent agro ability, with a bit of utility on the side. Why are we talking about Paladin DPS, except to laugh and point out that only the Cleric does less?
