The Build: 61 Paladin / 15 Void Knight/ 0 Tempest (http://rift.magelo.com/en/soultree#9kGGiGFlaBh0/48x0/V)
Masteries - Enduring Survival, Protective Aura or Soul Regeneration (depending on the fight), Runner's Training, Ethereal Strikes, Power Variation.
Paladin is superior to VK for personal survivability and Life's Rapture for preventing an entire raid wipe, but is low on the DPS, especially due to the RNG-elements that are required for the DPS to shine.
Cooldowns
Touch of Life
Instant OGCD full heal
Life's Rapture
Instant OGCD raid full heal over 6 seconds and 10% mitigation. It heals 100% of your health instantly and heals your raid over 6 seconds. 1:30 CD (OGCD). Be VERY careful when using this, as it is extremely powerful and has a massive threat modifier. You will pull agro instantaneously on ANYTHING you are not currently the main target of...however this ability being so powerful can easily prevent a raid wipe, but also cause them.
Light's Protection
Increased heals for 12 seconds, 1m CD (OGCD)
Shield Defense
30% less damage for 10 seconds, 1m CD (OGCD)
Aegis of the Light
Use when expecting a big hit. A 20% mitigation boost for 4s, 30s CD.

90% HP regen channel over 3 seconds

Vengeful Decree

Utility

What to do for max Mitigation:
Keep up Aggressive Block , Pacifying Strike, and Light's Benediction 100% of the time. Use cooldowns as needed, but be careful from Life's Rapture threat!
What to do for max DPS!!
Use your OGCDs on cooldown throughout the fight.
Pull with Light's Decree
Pacifying Strike-> Light's Benediction (all the mitigation you need, insert Aggressive Block if you want to.
As long as you don't need it for a charge. use Righteous Charge (NOTE: Righteous Charge does not work at melee range, my recommendation is to jump backwards and then hit it and it should go off. During some encounters it might mess with your character or camera position, so be careful) [rift-ability name="Pacifying Strike"] -> [rift-ability name="Pacifying Strike"] -> [rift-ability name="Light's Benediction"]
Spam Pacifying Strike, use Righteous Charge and Light's Decree on cooldown, finish with 3 point Light's Benediction .
