Also, saying a paladin is the best healer in the game is a matter of perspective, especially considering a paladin's heal will either be slow or incredibly weak. Versus an intelligent opponent a paladin can be completely shut down rather quickly, the exception being the twelve seconds of almighty bubble.

Ok lets clear some things up.
I have a level 63 protection palladin.
Thats number one on the list.
Number 2 is: Paladins are the best SINGLE TARGET healers in the game. They can get higher heals than any other class in a single cast, howerver they cannot heal an entire group as efficiently as say a priest or a resto druid.
Number3: a Protection palladin can take out any class that MELEES (hunters included but they are the toughest) and get taken out by pretty much all casters (minus fire mages and shadow priests, they are just really tough).
The only way to effectivley beat a paladin as a warrior would be to keep him bleeding. To beat one as a shaman spam purge on him and keep out a grounding totem.
I am probably one of the few pallies i have ever seen that uses Blessing of Freedom intelligantly as well, i hotkey it and use it whenever i am snared. The only thing i cant break with that is a hunters Freeze trap (freakin hate that thing!) but with todays new patch the PvP trinkets will break that.
When it comes to healing, however, a holy paladin is the most mana effient healer in the game. Even on my prot pally i can outheal holy priests using Flash of Light. Their Flash heal costs 340 mana and heals about 1000 with some nice +healing gear. I have about +219 healing/spell damage (spell damage = threat) and my Flash of Light costs 120 (might be 140) mana, and heals about 600...Throw Blessing of Light, and now it heals about 800. Thats only 200 less damage healed, and less than HALF the mana of the priests.
