So i am new to the game. i like to tank and heal... i have two character slots.
For my tank i decided on paladin, Seems like a solid choice.
For heals, ( i like to be a full tank or a full healer when i play it) Which would you suggest, builds? feats? point planning?
Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of online guides now. But be prepared to be bored leveling a tank. While you can survive most fights, everything takes a while to kill. That said, I would play like a DC first. Just get the tank to level 10 (which should be quick) and use him as an invoke toon and level him slowly that way.

For leveling your Paladin I'd recommend NOT going down the tank track... ...Devotion is IMHO way easier to level. BUT respecs in this game are inordinately expensive. RL money is the fast path, 2 weeks' dailies for a rather fresh char the in game way to acquire the necessary funds. So it's your choice - also you're immediately introduced to the game's ugly problem named "Monetization".

Healer: There's almost only the DC, two paths to choose from for healing focus - the Healadin won't ever be able to compete, IMHO, unless there's a big rework (Tankadin can well compete with Guardian Fighter...). Again, the one path best for leveling (Righteous) is the worst for healing, way beneath the two heal-focussed paths. Catch 22 again...

too bad still no dual spec
maintaining several chars for another spec is so much work.
it would give shorter waiting times on dungeons maybe.
if people can choose to tank instead of dps or heal.
or any other combination.
