Working on a Zealot (or other type of pally)

[Bob]

Not everybody has Insight, and even Meditation can't always keep up with high-level Vengeance.  (Speaking from experience.)

I usually shoot for level 4-6 Holy Shield at first so I'm not recasting it every time I turn around, then pump it further at the very end once my main skill is built-up enough for my tastes.

Once zeal/fana/sac/HS have all been accounted for it might eb worth plowing some points into defiance too, just for the extra defence, but it rather depends on how large the number that you'll be increasing is.

I'll get around to editing this with the current equipment list that my guy uses. It's by no means Uber, but it's not scrapyard stuff either (a few exceptional uniques, tops)
