Sk’s can contribute to raid pulling with their pets and FD, something Paladins cannot do. And obviously the off tanking or agro snapping.
So anyone who says they are useless is mistaken, but I won’t say their role cannot be duplicated by others

Shadowknights certainly aren't useless. They are great in solo/group situations.
However, Shadowknights rarely get used for raid pulling. Not unless this has changed in the last year or so. Usually Necromancers are preferred over Shadowknights.
Paladins typically have more utility in raids due to having Divine Strength, Soulfire, and their off-healing capacity in a pinch.
Not trying to discourage people from playing Shadowknights. I love my Shadowknight, and he works really well in any solo/group situation. But in raids all of the Shadowknight specific utility is either nerfed (lifetap nerfs on P99), or unused (pulling).
Shadowknights will simply be used for offtanking and DPS. You won't be able to use your pets for DPS either typically in raid situations. The pet will be used for pet tracking only, as you probably won't get to pull.
