Did Pally/SK change much in luclin and beyond?

[Trelaboon]

I main a Paladin here on p99. Knights are easily my favorite class, but at 60, their usefulness is pretty limited. There are obviously niche uses for each of the two knights (DA pulling, train up etc), but the role which they’re actually suited for (Tanking) becomes pretty impossible. I’ve tanked in HoT, I’ve ramp tanked Vindi, but I’ll never stand toe to toe with any raid mob, short of an absolute crisis.

I played live up until OoW, but I don’t really remember much about the game during that time. Did Paladin and Shadowknight ever become suited for raid tanking? What was their role after Luclin?
