It's not great with a DRK, either, and I really have to wonder why WAR is the only tank that got a TP recovery ability, albeit one that requires you to be out of tank stance.
I think the dev team seriously overestimated the amount of spellcasting Paladins (and Dark Knights) would be doing. Every 3 seconds spent casting a spell is 60 TP recovered. If they thought Paladins would be casting Stoneskin fairly often (say as part of a GB -> RA -> RA/RoH -> SS rotation) then they probably thought Paladin and Warrior would have a similar TP consumption rates.
