Paladin can just toss a heal to the puller to get all agro on incoming mobs if needed. Nobody, at least from my experience, single pulls and relies on FD these days in experience groups. It's all about just pulling and CCing in camp, and if the group absolutely needs an FDer I can make the same theoretical argument that they probably already have a monk for that. Even if there are other classes in group that can provide the same utility, its never a bad thing to have extra, a heal to the chanter or cleric will always be more useful than what an SK can bring to the table. Obviously a good SK will be better than a bad paladin though, and vice versa.
