So what do you get when using the Natures Defender? One.. More damage per melee hit and Two.. MORE procs.

Taking your second claim first. No, you do not get more procs. Proc chance per minute is based on dex. Proc chance per swing is determined by your net swing delay (including haste) vs your proc chance per minute. ND will get more procs/swing than any quicker weapon, but same procs/minute as every other weapon.

As for more damage per melee hit, ... if bigger numbers make you feel good i guess that's ok. FD will outdamage ND until/unless late velious combat revamp goes in, at which point they'll be near equal, but the day paladin damage output is actually important to gameplay has never dawned on p99.
