If PLD is played right, and Clemency, Stoneskin, Cure, Divine Veil, and Cover are properly employed and used throughout a fight? They bring raid wide mitigation like nobody else. The problem is that the current encounter design doesn't call for that, which is why the devs say it's a problem of Paladins not fitting. Note especially now they've said Paladins don't have much use for Divine Veil or Clemency - two things that would bring massive utility to the table. I'm confident that encounter design in 3.2 will level the playing field a bit. Nobody knows for certain, but we can all agree that Paladins don't quite fit with the status quo, but the good thing about it is that the devs seem to realize this, which means we can look forward to seeing them be useful/desirable again.
