FYI: The reason why LOH is a primary attribute for Paladin's is because we can create even more life-hits per minute than even a monk.
Why? -> Blessed Hammer + ThunderStruck. With a fast attack speed you can create a literaly tornado of electric doom spinning like a sawblade.
What? Thunderstruck you say? BUT THAT SUCKS!
Does it? You realize that each time one of those electric beams coming off your hammers to you hits something that is a "hit". Ten hammers spinning around you per second == hammer hit + electric hits == roughly 12 - 18 hits per second with only 3 mobs around you. Now imagine having 10 mobs around you each being hit at least 3 times per second by either a hammer or some electric charge.
With a minimum fo 20k LOH you're looking at 600000hp per second in healing.

I've just released my l33tHax Paladin-DemiGod setup. Have fun
!
Granted I thought about this by the second day playing Diablo 3 so it could need MUCH needed improvement from things I don't know yet, but right now my 7k toughness 200k dps Paladin can sit in a swarm of 10 mobs in Torment IV and never die. He has 16,832 life on hit and a 1.4 attack speed one-hander coupled with attack speed from my puny Paragon levels and attack speed on items.
Granted I also kill REALLY slow due to only 200k dps, but I can't die so long as I have enough Wrath and a minmum of 2 mobs around me to get THUNDAAAASTRUUUCK, sorry....couldn't resist.
