I believe Apatheist and some others are doing Paladin+4Mages.

IIRC Apatheist had shared how he was using his Paladin to kite mobs through Blizzard (different approach than just AEing clumps).

Between debuffs, silences, interrupts, & CC I would be concerned to try to both main tank and main heal from a single Paladin. Would love to see some videos of people pulling it off at cap but so far I have not and would think of a Tanking Paladin as at most an off-healer unless evidence is presented otherwise.

Most folk with a Paladin Tank are are doing PaladinTank+3Mages+Healer (either a 2nd Paladin or Priest).

I was thinking If a team with 2 paladins and 3 mages works fine... When you play with a tank, healer and 3 mages, this work, but the leveling is more slow. If i use 2 paladins (1 tank and 1 healer), can i use one of this to do aoe damage?

Yes a Paladin Tank is an AoE damage character who mainly generates threat via damage that is magnified, relatively, via their threat management tools (both magnification of their own threat and, if needed, diminishing of other's threat). Their damage is definitely not as high as any of the Mages but it is significant.
