Blizzard to Paladins:

it also would have 0 effect on the specific encounters that people are complaining about.  Namely BWL encounters that reduce threat levels to 0 or Vael (?) that will pretty much auto kill your MT every minute.  in any of these cases having an off tank with that ability wouldn't do anything.  the only person that would be generating the additional hate would be the MT that's getting hit.

I'm personally of the opinion that the paladin skill isn't broken the way these new encounters are implimented are broken and forces certain skills to be much more powerful than they normally would be.  look at blizzards own statement, they say that this skill is worth jack-s#!& in 90% of the game but when it comes to these few minority encounters suddenly it becomes a God ability.

My way of thinking is that overall, maybe the racial and class skills are not that unbalanced, just that the BWL encounters are structured in a way that favors the Alliance (all skill, talents, traits) with no counter-poised Horde ability to make that encounter fair. To make it fair they could either re-think the entire Alliance vs Horde racial, class, talent balance or rethink that encounter (BWL) to make it a little more Horde accessible.

It is also possible that the Horde just haven't found a solution yet, but that one does exist for them to discover. It would be a shame to dumb down the challenge, before anyone solves the puzzle. Maybe the test was just too hard?
