1) Invulnerability shield for 12 seconds, 6 seconds on the self cast, 6 seconds on any target.
2) Ability to heal.
3) A easy to use stun that is gotten early and is instant.

This is totally orthogonal to warlock fear problems (which I fully acknowledge), but none of the above are usable as an escape mechanism. A paladin has one escape option: shield, /rude and hearthstone. Six seconds (either repentance or Hammer of Justice) is not enough even to escape from mobs let alone in PvP (same goes for concussive blow). The 12 seconds of shield can be used to escape from mobs due to their reset radius, but not in PvP as you have no way of slowing down your opponent while you are trying to run (i.e. any kind of snare).
Not sure what you mean by six seconds on the self cast and six seconds on any target -- do you mean using the shield to heal up and get one free swing on the enemy (assuming they stood in front of you while you healed)? Even so that does not an escape skill make.
