If you're going to take Defender of Siberys, it doesn't make sense to only take the first 2 tiers of it if you're a level 18 Paladin.
However, I'd suggest going Knight of the Chalice. You aren't going for AC (since you aren't taking Combat Expertise), and the Hate boost from Defensive Stance doesn't stack with the +100% Hate Boost from Divine Righteousness. KotC III with the KotC ToD set is a lot of juicy DPS, and you'll find that you don't use Defensive Stance all that often because of the massive reduction in speed. You can ditch the Bulwark Aura Enhancements if you're having trouble trying to fit in the third tier of a PrE; too few people care about AC nowadays.
I would also consider ditching the 2 Fighter levels and going Pure Pally for the sexy capstone, but that has more to do with what equipment you have and what epic weapons you want to be using.
ty for the nice post
but when dropping fighter i'm losing towershield potent
don't know if shield mastery is that effective anymore, as turtling won't work anymore
i colde indeed drop the 2 dr feats, body and past life fighter to get ecpertice and another toughness , or 4x toughnes ,having 2 more toughnes wil het me around 622hp, whit greater false life and elemental energy +20 and +10 makes 652hps + 3 except con and a +3 tome gives 4 more con =+40 hps makes total of 692hp (unbuffed)
whit some bufs that wold make +20 from rage = 712hps +20draconic +40madstone rage makes 772 hps
was seposed to take 3e tear of pre but didn't notice it wasn't taken
heres a easy look at it
