Since it's a fact that paladin DPS sucks so badly, isn't it worth to increase the survivability of the player and leave the DPS part to the boxing char ?
Any opinion from the older paladin player ?

So I played around with both styles recently and saw very little difference. But that was with very top end gear. (Full +1 or +2 VIS gear, max bad ash Augs, full v2's,)
The damage output was similar with 2handers and 1 handers. This was due to the fact that 1 handers get more AA bonuses, while 2 handers don't have any AA benifits beyond bashing.
The large (linear) AC return on the shield makes the difference in my opinion. I have little difficulty tanking most of the pazunian gods. And fabled anguish is trivial. 3.0 fights are hit and miss but mostly hit.
It should be noted that I have little trouble with tanking with a 2 hander also. But, again that's at super max gear. I think the AC difference would be huge mid 80+ Gear grind. If I were to make a moderately experienced guess, I'd say you could get similar results once you get to 22.5k AC (All my data comes from 25k+). Even tho the AC sounds like a big jump, the fight mechanics beyond abyss make the difference negligible.
