@ OP

Hmmm idk there is going to be times in which the healer won't be able to cure pro/ss you and tbh second wind, feather foot won't be enough to sustain in a long set of events where you are solo tanking/healing.

We will see also what scholar buffs bring to the table.

I see your point but, at least up to level 20 tanking feels quite easy for a paladin and I think they are trying to distance the tanking styles between Warrior and PLD so I say that's a no go.
