Happy to contribute Chicken
AS actually is about 5% of my threat when it's a fight where I can weave it in like VR. But yeah, it's rough.
I'm concerned about our single-target threat in 2.3 as well; it seems like warriors and druids are getting a big buff with Expertise while we really never used weapon skill or hit in the first place. Hopefully there will be some synergy worked out between hit ratings for us.
As you mentioned, this change is in the new PTR notes: (it's mislabeled, under the Mage changes)

Righteous Defense: The chance for this ability to land successfully on its targets is now increased by hit rating.

So I guess we have some testing to do -- if it turns out to be 9% affected by melee AND spell hit, almost every paladin with precision will have an unresistable taunt, which would be very nice.
