do more damage with 2h.
So you take less damage as mob dies faster, and level faster.

This is assuming that the paladin's damage output isn't a negligible percentage of the group's total DPS, which it likely is. The job of a tank in a group setting is not to do damage, it is to 1) hold aggro while 2) taking as little damage as possible. That will result in healers expending less mana which will result in faster exp. It doesn't matter how fast you kill the mobs if you have to take frequent med breaks because of healers.
OP: Keep both weapon skills high as it is situational. Short on mobs in a group? Switch to 2h. Fighting a lot of casters that like to ice comet (Looking at you Lguk)? Use sword/board and utilize bash. Interrupting a several hundred point nuke is much more valuable than doing a bit more dps as a tank in a group setting.
