I decided to reroll and play Alliance for the first time since I started playing WoW on release day. My team (Pal/4x Sham) just hit 50 and I'm debating if I want a Paladin or a DK tank. I've got a decked out DK Horde side and I've only ever been "Meh" about them tanking Heroics. Even with the changes in 3.1 and the planned changes for 3.2 I've always felt like they were too spikey and required a dedicated healer instead of 4x DPS with intermittent 4x LHW. I'd never played a Paladin before I rerolled this team, and I dig it so far.

So, anyone with both have any comments? Anyone with an 80 Paladin that can just try and convince me?

Edit: Also, my experience in 5 boxing with DK+4 Shaman in Heroics at 80 makes me think that DK's require a bit too much micro-management. From what I can so you can basically spam an Aggro macro on a Paladin and focus on just maximizing DPS on the Shaman.
