I was perusing the forum and came across the following quote:

‘the secret to playing a good paladin is not playing one - and rolling a warrior instead. after you get proc'ing weapons and other classes understand how to mitigate aggro - youll be happy you forgot about Paladin which is completely pointless in this era.

The top raiding guild on green primarily uses it's stacked paladins over warriors to clear the way in NToV for speed, because the slow team can work instantly. Which is especially important during EarthQuake momentum.

I main a Warrior. And while I do love my warrior I have swapped to a guildies Paladin to tank Halls of Testing because at this point in the game / gear level it's faster and more efficient for the slow team not to wait for procs and for the rogues just to lazily go ham obliterating the loot mobs as quickly as possible. And frankly, allowing the raid to freely compete on DPS meters during HoT makes it interesting/fun enough to up participation in a guild where the majority of people already have great gear and you're just grinding HoT to gear-up new recruits.

So no, not pointless.
