I haven't tried to play under 1.9 yet, so I can't really answer the
allocation question, but from what I can tell from the patch notes, I don't
think a paladin's role has changed all that much. It does look like fury
has been fixed a bit so you stand a slightly larger chance of holding
aggro, but tanking with a paladin is mostly stupid anyway - you're
neglecting your role as the guy who's there to jump into that role (or the
healer role) when the going gets bad. A paladin's job is to save the day.

I can name at least three times in the past where a single thing I did
turned a near wipe into victory. Things like a last-second lay of hands
on the main warrior, a heal of the priest just as they were about to go
down from getting aggro, or getting in the last couple needed hits on a
baddie when everyone else had died. A warlock friend recently showed me
another goofy thing to do - act as their 'storage battery'. Meaning,
healing their ass constantly while they are hellfiring, which lets it do
the full devastating damage without them being dead at the end. Try to find
a priest willing to do that one! *
