An MS and WW should not bring a paladin anywhere near execute range. If you really are taking down plate-wearing shield-capable paladins that quickly, then you're meeting up against some very clueless and poorly equipped paladins.

You're assuming that the warrior is only using those three attacks. He'll also be getting two to three (dependant on weapon speed) normal attacks in. Assuming he's Axe-spec, like most Arms Warriors are, it's not unreasonable to assume at least three of his attacks will crit. If they're normal attacks, it's 200% damage. If it's a special, it's 220% damage. It's very possible to crit for 1000+ on plate-wearers with an MS or WW crit, and 800-920 normal crits aren't uncommon, either. Execute crits, while only operating on the target's last 19% HP, can do truly obscene damage.
Sure, I haven't been fighting Pallies wearing 7/8 Lawbringer and 1/8 Judgement, but I'm wearing little more than a few pieces of Valor and some random blues and the occasional odd green.
