When rangers became bad-ass, it took a while for the general populace to figure it out... Same with Paladins... TWF Paladins are an insane DPS class now... But you'll still probably get declined from groups for a few months into Mod 9... Then about a year from now, people will be calling for paladins to be nerfed....
I have a TWF DPS Dwarven Ranger, a TWF DPS WF Barbarian, and just completed my TWF DPS palidan (I used to have a S&B Palidan but deleted him a long time ago).

Best over-all sustained DPS goes to the Barb, but he can't self-heal or self-buff, no UMD and is good for pretty much just DPS.

The Ranger and Pally are pretty similar in DPS, average DPS probably favors the Ranger especially against favored enemies but his UMD is ****, he can barely self-heal, and is somewhat boring to play.

Now my DPS pally, which IMO has the best burst melee DPS in the game (Divine Sacrifice & Exhaulted Smites) is a blast to play. She has excellent survivability (LOH), good UMD, and great self buffs (resists, divine favor, prayer, zeal, divine might, etc.). The only drawback is the constant clicking of effects, but having extend makes this less painful. I wish DM would last longer than a minute.
