How do you avoid wiping ininstances?

[Xanthix]

If you bring a paladin along (and they don't get caught healing like I seem to always do) they can use divine protection, run to a cleared area and then divine intervention to remove themselves from all combat for a set time. THey can the rez the party.

I thought Divine Intervention let the pally remove someone ELSE from combat by sacrificing themselves? Can a pally cast it on himself/herself?

I have heard that the pally can Intervention the priest or someone else who can res, and then the priest can get clear of the action and bring the party back, but it sounds like you're suggesting something else. Am I missing something?
