Now, I'm a paladin just coming up to level 70, and I'm really unsure on what encounters I should be using to gain threat. Ive tried many things so far, and I really like Relentless Avenger, But in dungeons I'm guessing the knockback effect would irritate team mates... And I cant really think of any others that can taunt large groups of enemies other than my Divine call. Also, Do you know if Circle of power would be a good idea for a team buff, or does it only work on yourself?
Well, I only want your opinions on what you think if that's okay.

It's also good on Dragon fights when other mobs are pulled it because by charging the dragon it can knock the other mobs away allowing people to focus on the dragon (I usually throw up a party shield then also).
Obviously you want Templar's Wrath. In my middle slot I often go with Smite because it's really good DPS (as paladins go, anyway). For my third slot I often go with RA, and switch to Bane on two dragons (Rothe and Whispering Caverns) and in party delves.
Templar's Wrath, Burning Light, Smite
Templar's Wrath, Burning Light, Relentless Avenger
Templar's Wrath, Relentless Avenger, Smite (Bosses)
Templar's Wrath, Binding Oath, Burning Light (starting to get the hang of this combo in dungeons)
Templar's Wrath, Bane, Cleansing Touch (handy in fights like KR boss and when kiting a Scorpion (or tanking both)).
I also like Templar's Wrath, Burning Light and Divine Touch in dungeons where hitting a lot of mobs consistently makes my Terror debuff work better for the party as a whole and where a little more defence helps.
Circle of Power is good, and I can layer them solo now basically, but the power has horrible AP gain given its long cooldown and in parties the AP gain is the big thing.
Obsidian Oath - Warlock
A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.
I was thinking of going that route as well as a Bulwark Paladin. Quick animations and short cooldowns means that Vigilance is up a lot. People can say what they want about RA scattering mobs, but it really is a powerful taunt that buys you a couple of seconds when the mobs are knocked away. Mobs seem to be stuck on me more than not even with the knockback due to the treat generation.

Currently Templar's Wrath, Binding Oath, Burning Light for group content.
