First? That you have gauntlets equipped around your arms which seems unwise, not to mention painful. Also, your face slot item has no AC and you're sacrificing AC elsewhere for stat increases. Not prioritizing AC will translate into more bodily harm, eating into your healthbar and then drinking up your manapool, assuming you haven't died as a result.

But Fiery Defender offers more wisdom/mana than Natures Defender? Regardless, that build is well-balanced and not much of a departure from what most raiding Paladins wear. Honestly, I was half-expecting to see the following items on your wish list...

It's gist! The g is soft.

AC is broken on this server, I had 1400 AC on my Red Paladin when stacked for it and it didn't translate to much difference than @ 1200. The one stat he was SO thirsty for in all aspects of the game was more mana, always more mana.

What does a Paladin need all that AC for anyhow? they aren't tanking Velious raid mobs, and you can tank Kunark raid mobs with 1k ac.

Also thanks for the tip on the arms slot, and spelling.

The ideology that Paladin's and Shadowknight's are tanks beyond Kunark era raid mobs, and group tier mobs in Velious is what causes people to make a SK/PAL and stack STM.

Warrior's simply do tanking of raid mobs better, with the exception of a few raid target (VS/VP Targets). If you're stacking your Paladin/Shadowknight to the Warrior aspect of the hybrid then you're weakening them as classes because the returns you get beyond a certain point don't entitle the classes to achieve anything that non-stacked for tanking hybrid with similar gear can't do.
