The low dwarven charisma is something to be aware of, but I wouldn't call it super critical. If you're lulling on a Paladin, any Paladin, you have to have a plan for when lull crit-fails, because it's going to do so sooner or later. Lull will fail less often on a high-elf, but it'll still happen, and if you're routinely in situations on a Paladin where a lull fail is going to mean death then you're going to have a bad time. Carry a few charisma items, maybe ask for a charisma buff, good enough.
Most people who suggest prioritizing Wisdom are either approaching from a PvP mentality or from the mentality of a higher-end raid player who often finds himself healing tertiary groups. In ordinary leveling group--typically counting for the vast majority of game-time for most Paladin players--WIS is a secondary stat at most. That's why your half-elf was always fine. Race is not a big deal for the Paladin, for the most part. They all level at the same rate, they all have broadly similar factions, in the end there isn't a drastic difference between them.
