There's no reason now to run Fanaticism, because a Paladin can get a sufficient boost just from Redemption.The way your comments are worded confused me (not hard to do) so I want to clarify for the others. If you are going to run a different aura than fanaticism then it is true the syngeries to sacrifice from redemption (+15%/level) are better than Fantacisim(+5%/level).
However, if you are going to run Fanaticism, then you should max it first before maxing Redemption. By my calcs, you get +473% damage to sacrifice when running maxed fanaticism (no +skills) along with the increased AR, speed, and improvements to party members. With redemption, the boost is +300% and you get life and mana from corpses for the paladin only and can run a different aura like thorns or conviction.
