I don't consider Paladins a critical power class either. I'm simply saying that if Paladin is your thing, you can join a casual guild and tank quite a bit of content. Throw in the token buffs and some clutch heals and LOH and you can be quite effective.
Sure, a defensive warrior blows away every other class in terms of pure tanking. But if you have enough clerics to keep a paladin up and you don't feel like blowing mallet charges on every HOT dragon, why have your dps sitting around with their dicks in their hands for 20s while a warrior builds up threat?
