If you want to tank in raids, you need to go warrior. While Sks or Pallys can tank raid encounters, they need much better gear than a warrior. defensive stance is powerful as fuck. i cant remember seeing anything but a warrior tank in velious during the actual velious era. i think its more a "lets see if we can do this" type deal.
Paladins and SKs are equally capable tanks. Sks have greater DPS without sacrificing survivability. Paladins are capable healers. Sks are vastly superior at outdoor soloing. indoors, paladins might have an edge. lull to split, Root + heals to make up for the dps, and stuns for casters.
I think Sks can get slightly better snap aggro, but its been years since ive played a paladin past like 12.
