Paladins, because worrying about DR is for chumps.
Paladins, because aren't you tired of playing classes where thing can actually hit you?
Paladins, because nothing's worse than spending weeks building your character up to be a huge bad ass and then rolling a 1 the first time you lay eyes on a dragon.
Paladins, because who doesn't want to be able to give yourself the good touch as a swift action?
Paladins, because with them Right actually makes Might.
Paladins, because god's on my side. No really, if he wasn't I'd just be a crappy fighter.

Because no other class can take on 50+ Orcs single-handedly and live to tell about it.
Frankly I don’t think a Paladin would be any better at fighting a hoard of orcs than any of the other melee classes. Where the Pally excels is going mano a mano with your BBEGs. I’ve never seen a player’s eyes light up with joy more than a Paladin who was just informed we were fighting an evil dragon. Of course this was before Paladins were nerfed to only doing double smite on the first hit, but still.

Nerfed?
*headtilt* Smite evil lasts until the BBEG drops or the pally does.
At least, that's my understanding.
And, I'm one of those pallies whose player's eyes light up just as described.
Detect Evil? Yes, evil. SMITE!! *giddy girlish glee*

Sure, but what class could do so without someone dedicated to heal them? Also, what class can heal themselves as a Swift Action therefore allowing them to complete a Full-Round Action as well?
