People point to Paladin being "the best defensive" and it's not true in an AoE situation because we simply don't contribute to surviving (self-heal gains from AoE dps + Bloodbath), nor towards killing the threat more quickly - as the two other tanks do.

Paladin is less efficient to the point that it requires more damage from dps and more healing from the healers in an AoE setting.
Why does everything have to provide damage these days? This was never an issue pre HW content and is still not an issue but with everyone complaining about these "strict" dps requirements everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and trying to nitpick jobs in every way they can.
