Would you rather have the guy that can instantly CH someone in an emergency, root mobs, toss out heals, and stun gaters/healers or the guy that can FD?

Well this is all very dependent on what utility you have in your group, but...
I'd rather AOE aggro on incoming to stop mobs pinging at anyone sitting until mezzes/roots can happen. Also if I'm pulling and picked up 69 adds I've got the option to FD and not have the crisis play out in the first place while the paladin is booking it to the nearest zone line or slowly rooting everything while getting beat on and everyone nearby eating sit aggro.
Every healer class at least has root and there's no group without a healer. If you're the main healer as a paladin you might as well solo, which SKs do better anyway.
I'm happy to move with my mobs after every root. Crisis management doesn't (and shouldn't) begin and end with the tank.
TL;DR - I'm a better tank than most paladins I've grouped with in other roles.
