A melee paladin with max and fast block, 3 Life/vita, max res, and just a little regular leech doesn't need a defensive curse like Life tap.
Stack ias, 350ed on daemons make LoH far superior to Draculs.

Good guide, well written.
Few points hit my attention :
a Last wish setup, supposing to proc Life Tap, will not benefit from a Reaper merc, procing Decrep. You have to choose. My preference, for the given weapon choice, goes to a Faith merc (as suggested in the same time).
a Last wish setup should use phase blade, since choosing Last wish means you only consider raw physical damage as backup power, your leading powers being Light and crushing blow, both only requiring a fast zeal. And of course phase blade is much better than BA for attack speed - not to mention the indestructible feature.
As long as ias is already maxed, you should consider String belt. Nos is a good one, but inferior to String if your not in need of slow target - and such paladin is never really in trouble, to make that kind of defensive mod a necessity.
Bug belt, in my opinion, has no place in a guide, and is not useable besides Europe.
A very personal feeling about Enigma : sacrifying some killing power to reach a decent fcr breakpoint is very frustrating. And if you don't, teleporting slow as hell is boring.
Use Charge for fast movement - Charge itself is perfectly able to kill any monster on your way. Fortitude > Enigma to sum up.
A last thing about Redemption, a very useful skill. Get it from your CtA side. Contrary to Holy shield, Redemption spawns very easily on 5 sockets scepters. Even a +1 is good enough.
