My main is a 55 Paladin. I thought I would run into the issue as well but it's not as bad as I expected. If you're a good player and can tank well people will want you in their group despite the experience penalty the class gets. The guild I'm in even has me main tank some Planar raids for my snap aggro.
After leveling a twinked Iksar Shaman leveling the twinked Paladin wasn't bad at all. I honestly didn't even feel the experience penalty until 50+. And that's when it slowed waaaay down.
This idea is to have alts to play just in case. Because you're not going to ALWAYS get a group. Some people do have hybrid hate. If I pop into KC and only tanks/dps are lfg I'll hop on my shaman and duo for a bit until a healer shows up.
I've never sat lfg for 2 hours and logged off. Some duo's and trios can work even if it's not the holy trinity of classes.
It's all about setting proper expectations and being flexible.
