My prot warrior is 43 now and I still grind on the ~37 elite ogres in Alterac when I need to blow through rested bonus. I average between 115 and 150 DPS according to the damage calculator for CTMod.
Downtime is on average a bandage every 2 kills and the time to make those bandages, (since the ogres drop silk and mageweave to make them with). That really isn't that much downtime, I have less than I had with my rogue at the same level, and my killing speed feels similar. I honestly don't think a paladin L43 is going to be doing 100+ DPS, but I could be wrong.

Again I'm looking at my L60 warrior and I can rarely get that kind of DPS even on -6 mobs. It's gotten better with a new one hander and dual wielding is higher single target DPS now. I haven't looked at the CTMod damage calculator since I started to use recap but I recall that it showed a higher DPS than recap did when I had them both running by 5 to 10 DPS but still 105 to 140 DPS is higher than my warrior gets, though I generally don't grind humanoids so less overpower chances. I did hold about 135 DPS in stratholme the other day with a lot of whirlwinds and cleaves with 4-5 mobs around a lot (the paladin was getting most of the aggro with all the undead skills) and my attack power/crit gear on. The paladin and the fury warrior were holding around 160 and 150 respectively. I'd still like to know what you are doing to get that kind of DPS. That is better than the arms/fury warriors I've talked with at your level.
Yes, my L48 paladin can get 100 DPS on -6 mobs quite easily as well. I get 70 or so DPS with a one hander on actually and that just goes up with my two hander. Paladin DPS is not bad it just not controlable. And my paladin still grinds faster than my warrior did at that level. At least that is how I recall it.
