Certainly Bolty. Divine Intervention is a wipe saving spells that Paladins can utilize. The only problem is that it MUST be cast on someone else. For obvious reasons you would not want to cast it on a druid who has already used their combat resurrection. As I stated in my post the person who is to be resurrected should be back from the action and the paladin should wait as long as possible before DI'ing that person. Use your shields if you have to to buy time for the priest/druid to get back. Then cast Divine Intervention on the subject (you must have a reagent to cast it). The DI drops the person from the hate list of mobs entirely and that person can do nothing for 30 seconds. If you wait as long as possible before casting it then you have a good chance of the mobs going back to their spots so the priest can rez the party.
Edit: In raid situations paladins should target other paladins for DI to double up the chances that a wipe can be averted.
