Would I be stupid to want to roll a second pally?

[Loadsamoney]

I have a 51 Dwarf Paladin, halfway to Epic (need to get a book of Scale, kill Miragul, and do turnin for Fiery Avenger), but I love the class so much, and after learning of another weapon, I'm tempted to make a second one alongside it.

As opposed to my melee Dwarf Pally with Brell, this one would be a Tunare-worshipping High Elf, and would play on high Wisdom as opposed to raw Strength/Stamina, and it would use Nature's Defender once acquired. Tanking would still be the dominant role, but this Paladin would give up raw battle prowess to focus more on the magic side, and hopefully make a decent pinch healer with the higher mana pool.

Am I stupid to even consider this?
