Advice for a newbie Dwarf Paladin

[Ghamarro]

The past few messages claiming that I won't be of any use in an end game raid as a Dwarf Paladin is really disheartening to read as I would've really liked to play that race/class combo specifically. If I truly want to raid, and I mean RAID raid, should I make a druid instead? That's my other favourite class in RPGs in usual. If it soloes decently and is really useful in both party (leveling) content and end game raid content then that could be a better choice for me. What do you guys think?
