Don't underestimate the value of that disruption, people take their eyes off all sorts of important things to chase that damn Paladin who seems to be getting away with impunity. It's very frustrating for the other side, revel in it. :)

So in other words all the paladin bashing is just a transferance used by the recieving players to rationalize thier own ineptitude.
Horde player #1 "I'm too much of a "nOOb" to figure out that this paladin doing a bubble and dump on us is wasting his time and it's not hurting us, so instead of adapting and improving my own play i'll just say that all paladins are nOObs for using those tactics."
On the other hand, the majority of paladins that are over 40, that i know, that use the bubble and dump tactic only do it because it's GUARANTEED to get a rise out of the horde forces. I was in a TM raid a week before BG's came out and everytime we came to a stand-off one paladin would run in on on side of their forces bubble and dump and run away. Every time half the horde force would charge after that guy. Meanwhile we had warriors and priests come on the other side and fear bomb the hell out of thier group. 5 hours later and having used this same tactic at least 20+ times it still worked like a charm because the horde just couldn't let that one Pally get away.
