I've actually found my build to have been boosted exceptionally. At the moment my tentative 1.9 build is going to be 11/35/5. I think the real gain for paladins, at least in the PvE area is in their ability to throw out consistant "AoE" damage. With Consecration a T3 talant now it is possible to get it without putting a dent in your other talant choices. (although i believe people have a point that it could easily be made a class skill instead of a talant) The addition of damage on block from BoSanc corresponding with Holy Shield throws out a lot of damage.
My main stratagy has just been to put up Aura of Retribution, Blessing of Sanctuary and seal/judge wisdom. Most of my gear is green with a couple lightforge items and i can Easily take on 8-10 50-52 undead near chillwind point at a time. I don't use any of the specific undead abilities just gather them all up and drop consecrations and holy shields while i judge wisdom and keep the seal up. Depending on how many I have on me and if i feel i need to heal during the fight (normally i don't even have to heal) I can go through them all with 75% mana.
