In the same sense, you could make a case for battle clerics. Paladins aren't really in a group because of their "awesome damage" (sorry Naethyn), just their tanking ability.
Clerics obviously have all of the same aggro spells... but with better HP buffs and still the ability to wear plate and have decent AC. With their ability to also be undead wizards, I tip my hat to their versatility <3
