There is a few draw backs by not having a pali:

1. No Blessing of Kings 10% Status
2. No Devotion Aura with +6% Heal (Huge with (4) Healing totems)
3. No +3% Crt to Judged Targets, so no extra 3% Crt bonus to bosses

=======
So is loosing this really worth a DK?
In a word, yes.
1. I haven't specced into Kings since the patch, and won't be on my Paladin. There's not really a need, I keep Sanc on myself, and Wisdom on the casters. I can live without the blessings entirely however, I mean Mana Spring Totem DOES stack now.
2. Loss of Devotion Aura, eh I don't really notice it. I HAVE however noticed less overheals on recount. I just hit myself with 4 lesser healing waves, and even though they're Elemental it still tops me off. And honestly, who uses Healing Totem now? Mana Spring STACKS!
3. Again, not a huge loss. I'll take the static 13% damage increase over a 3% crit chance ANYDAY. There are a multitude of theorycraft posts all over the web about this very topic, in various forms. And the general concsensus, for me ... is that constant spell damage, will always be better than spiked spell damage.

But in the end, it's not all about theorycrafting or min/maxing is it? Death Knights are just freakin fun. And if you prefer the Paladin, that's your business. Personally, I've parked mine till I'm ready to go back to levelling my second team. But that'll be a while.
