VIT also increases MRD/WAR auto attack damage, making VIT a great investment for warrior for defense and offense. Paladin has MND, which makes his heals stronger and his melee auto attacks. MRD/WAR are is blessed with less need to decide on stats, VIT does it all. If paladins invests in their auto attack stat, they increase healing.... not their tanking.
