unless of course you're a tunarian high elf with the PoG 2h, which i don't think anyone on this server has? or if they do, they're not active
either way, paladins aren't really used for anything in endgame (neither are shadowknights). if it's fun to you, then play it - and enjoy little to no competition on your drops.

I stopped playing a few months ago but I have a HIE and with all the gear I got I was happy that I had higher base wisdom, the actual hardest relevant stat to cap with raid gear. This probably isn't going to be the case for a lot of people but understand with Velious strength gear is pretty easy to obtain.
Anyway, Paladins are awesome at agro and have a ton of utility. Don't expect to be the MT for the really hard hitting stuff but I always found myself to be very useful in the endgame. People have a perception about the maximum efficiency of warrior disc tank and spank and tend to forget how much more there is to the game that a Paladin just makes easier.
There was plenty of hard hitting trash to clear in zones that snap agro makes it way more effective for knights to tank and clear. At end game as a Paladin you can also buff (one of your buffs is exclusive for best MT setup). You can heal which comes in more handy than people would think, mainly because our 57 HoT is awesome and clerics are usually only doing MT healing rots. You also can always provide some crappy DPS, Knight dps is bad but I've found that my 60 Pal with a good 2hander can do better dps than a 56 rogue who can't do a quarter of the other things I can.
This might all be irrelevant because you may never make it to the end game. So I will just leave it at this the Paladin is a phenomenal group tank. FoL when close to mobs stun when you need the extra agro (don't really ever need more than the earliest stun).
