Ask in the
Paladin
forums. And paladins make use of
spell hit
and
hit
, so please be clear in which you're asking.

Paladins don't really need any +hit at all, most of our abilities can't miss or be resisted.
Only melee swings, Avenger's Shield(only useful for pulling), and Judgements.
Our Taunt, as well, but every tanking class has to deal with the whole resists BS, even then, we're at a better starting off standard than other classes, I don't think Ferals or Warriorprots get +3% hit.
I know Warriors don't, it's in Fury, but I don't know Feral's Talent Tree off the top of my head.

oh they do. you mentioned almost every ability we have and forgot the others.
I covered RD and that message that shows up does NOTHING. Even if you get the resist message, it has NO affect on threat and damage form Cons.
it sucks when taunt gets resisted on bosses like Bearboss in ZA.
I've NEVER had RD resist on Nalorak before, methinks it's impossible to get a Taunt resist there.
I've had it fizzle before, but that's because Blizz just sucks with their coding.

Pieces like that are pretty crappy because they waste so many itemization points on spell hit which does little to our Threat.
Spell hit is useless for us as it only affects Judgements, and having a Judgement resist isn't the end of the world, it was never a huge deal for me.
Melee hit is useless because it only affects our melee hits and RD(something every tank has to deal with, but Precision really cuts down on the Taunt resists). Avenger's Shield is affected by it, too, but even if you miss with it, you still pull the mob, you just need to communicate to your party that they can't go all out off the bat.

you just got lucky, it can resist there.
Well, I've never even HEARD of a resist on Nal before, due to a failed Taunt pretty much wiping the raid.
Before anyone brings up Four Horsemen, Blizzard was dumb with their raids pre-BC.

Well, he's resisted my taunt already so it's very much possible to have taunt resists. It's not because you haven't heared about it, it's wrong.
Also, if your taunt gets resisted, just bubble the other tank and get aggro.
A good player doesn't make his raid wipe just because one thing goes doesn't go exactly according to his bosstimer.
To OP: if you've got the precision talent, you shouldn't focus on any +hit/spellhit on your gear at all.
If you happen to get some on a piece, that's nice, but you should look more for stamina, avoidance and spelldamage.
WTF! Assume, much?

Being a tankadin, I've learned to be twitchy to possible criticism.

LOL! I was a better tank at 62 then some druids I know that "helped out" on a non heroic instance at 70.... I don't know if anyone says paladins are bad tanks anymore other then when they cc too late and end up getting broken cc cause of consecration. Did 2.4 fix consecration breaks also? I know it fixed avenger shield(possibly because it's so random... Love when it kills the snake or bug next to the main target...) I love it when I get a stupid mage that tries to poly when the target is in melee range with consecration already on the ground...
This is criticism, but not flaming. That's why we are here. Knowledge base and criticism. Just try not to get upset about it. There are many long threads that end up with someone getting upset when they get corrected or think they are being flamed. It's just the nature of the beast. =)

lol druids can't tank.
Reroll warrior! The true tanking class of WoW
LOL! Tanking with my druid is a lot of fun tho. I wish he was a 70. Hehe, druids usually end up stealing aggro from paladins and warriors because of their high threat and ignorance to letting it be and doing some dps instead. Nothing makes me happier then tanking drek in AV and then having 3 druids in bear come up and start bouncing aggro... Taunts ftw! =/
I think they don't realize they do more dps.....
