Grouping so far it seems like I see a lot more SK's than Paladins and they tend to be really good tanks. I've thought about going Paladin after my Cleric but always wondered why you don't see that many of them.

I have a level 60 enchanter and both a paladin and SK in the upper 30's (although I haven't played the SK for a long time) and I believe paladins are much better group tanks. You have useful(!) heals, all of your aggro skills don't actually break mez, and you have absolutely no problems holding aggro even with autoattack off. Most enchanters have at least one maddening experience with shadowknights, where shadowknights throw disease cloud on every mob and mez is useless because mez is constantly broken from dot ticks. that scenario is simply impossible with paladins. in fact, on a charm break, etc. you can tab over, toss a stun, and save the enchanter some punches to the face without interfering with any of the enchanter's spells. No other tank can really do that.
