This thread has a lot of Paladins aren't the best at anything outside of group tank so they are worthless. The argument really doesn't hold water that if a class isn't the best at something they can't contribute. So at a raid no one besides rogues should dps and no one besides clerics should heal? I won't say the class is essential but in all honesty if everyone in your raid was just warriors and clerics you could do almost all the content.
At every raid there is tanking/buffing/healing/dpsing/cc a good Paladin will probably do 3-5 of these tasks to some or a major extent at every raid.
There are a lot of classes you don't need, your raid is just a lot better off for having them. This thread kind of lacks out of the box thinking, or even in the box thinking.

You and a lot of others keep bringing up the min/max point but it really doesn't apply here. We're not looking at mostly insignificant difference in output here. You would be shocked at just how much dps a warrior is outputting while tanking, and going the berserk route is downright terrifying. Warrior is doing this all while also having better mitigation. If that wasn't bad enough they also get both offensive and defensive disciplines that paladin has absolutely no answer to.
When you watch the two classes performing side by side you quickly realize just how poor a performance the paladin shows. It's not a matter of extreme min/maxing paladin really is that much worse.
