Holy Shield is just too big a % of our threat Generation to even consider a Paladin as an "OT" in a min/max perspective - which ultimately this board is all about. Yes a Paladin can do lots of stuff - but hey, I've also seen a Warlock tank the Boglord trash mobs in SSC with 17k health and over 50% mitigation. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it is a great idea. On the same token he (the warlock) generates far superior AOE threat while taking similar damage, on top of receiving heals better and having more "snap" aggro than a Paladin outside of taunt.
