Paladins can tank bosses quite easily.
We are not the best choice when there is an equally geared warrior around.
This applies to most bosses and is a fact. By t6 level, warriors generally have superior avoidance, comparable threat and comparable HP levels, again, assuming similar gear.
For example, look up Unwaxed and Tyaera on Dath'Remar. He's the main warrior tank of our guild, I'm the main paladin tank. We have access to the same level of gear, with the exception that my paladin boots and bracers haven't dropped from BT yet while the warrior boots and bracers have both dropped.
I quite often get the itch to main tank content, and I do it all the time, I main tank most bosses in BT on farm runs, as it allows him to do DPS and speeds up the run. But for progression content, it is just better to let the warrior do it.
