You mention how annoying it is to assign and maintain paladin buffs in a raid. The defacto paladin buff sync'ing addon many of us have been using since the MC days is PallyPower (
PallyPower - Official Thread). The mod allows us to understand instantly which paladins have imp buffs and individual number of symbols. Besides allowing a raid leader or assistant assign specific pallys specific 30 minute buffs to classes, it supports assigning individual paladins to buffing 10 minute buffs on certain raiders (ie salv on the fury warrior).
Just thought I'd throw it out there since this guide looks like its going to be very impressive!
