So was I.
Can't heal while moving, healing extends how far the mob will chase you.
Behold, our only advantages.
Applies to a remarkable minority of PvE situations as neither spell mitigates daze, and lacking a snare, root, fast casting speed boost, the ability to dispell snares and roots means little in how well we can run away. Really it means we're slightly better equipped to close short distances against opponents who aren't attempting to flee.
A level 20 paladin does significantly more damage, on a percentage basis, than a level 60. A level 60 paladin does nothing that an equal level rogue or hunter can't do, and do much faster.

With my warrior, I die very rarely, and have since I learned when to run, around lvl 10 or 15. (she's lvl 50 now). There are basically two reasons for this, and they're really the same reasons pallies don't die much either. 5K armor, 3K life at 50 in my current config. If I run when I realize it has gone bad, I'll usually make it out, unless other adds show up, or I run smack into a devilsaur or something else dumb. Even with Daze, they generally can't hit me *enough* to kill me if I ran when I should have.
Unless I'm down to less then 20% and have 3 (hard-hitting or caster) mobs on me, I can run and make it out past their leashes. Nifty Stopwatch is handy at this point, too.
As far as for the casual gamer? Why not a warrior. As long as you learn when to run, and how to pull, which the casual gamer *will* learn for any class he plays, a warrior is very survivable, and killing speed isn't bad, and at least as good as a pally. The big diff is the healing.
As far as any class, all the classes are playable by the 'casual gamer'. However, the casual gamer won't be able to do the things with them that the 'non-casual gamer' will at the same levels.
And, if you're posting in this thread, at this forum......you may have to forfeit any claim of 'casual'. :P :P
