One of the things you forgot to mention in your hate guide is that the more damage you take, the faster you lose hate. This makes Defender that much more important. Also, if the situation is desperate, a Paladin can use Berserk and then immediately manually cancel it, because Berserk generates hate too. Warcry is also nice for this once the Paladin hits 70. The difference is, is that Berserk lowers your defense, but Warcry does not. And Warcry is almost as strong on the hate list as Provoke if it lands on all members. Rampart functions in much the same way, just lower hate generation. I hope this helps.
