NPCs get a ~3-4 level bonus to resist pacify, and paladins generally don't have great charisma. I'd be very wary using it on anything above L50, and 53+ is probably a death sentence unless you are a beautiful (but with an ugly model!) high elf with shaman cha buffs.
Velious tanking will be very interesting. Hybrids will gradually get some big powerups, but so will the NPCs. Kunark tanking is pretty trivial from a HP/AC perspective: the mobs are easy to slow and don't hit that hard anyway. If you are hanging out in the Kael arena (400+ hitters) or Sirens (250+ hitters) or even DN (L56+ enc/necro casters IIRC) . . . . well for the first time in P1999 history, torpor shamans may no longer be the best tanks
