Well, just to shed some light here. The FFTA/TA2 Paladin is actually a holy striker build with Holy Cross (AoE, cross-shaped centered on self) and Holy Sword (very heavy ST).
Also taking into the game Agrias, who might not exactly be a Paladin, we add in a lot of elemental-based damaged with status tacked on it.

Otherwise staying out of this discussion, I do like the design decision of "PLD as ST tank, WAR as GT tank" but i'm not sure the game is even properly balanced for that and my experience as tank is just not negative because I tanked 3 times, so i'll let the grown-ups discuss here.
