Mm, dunno what those purposes might've been. I've been reviewing the Paladin Handbook and don't see much reason for DEX unless you're planning on Heavy Blade Mastery for increased crit range when you hit epic levels?
I'm also kinda eyeing your armor. There may well be a reason, but I'm not immediately seeing why a paladin would wear scale when zie gets plate proficiency for free. Similarly, why a light shield when you could carry a heavy for +1 to two defenses? Is it to keep the hand free? If it's for your holy symbol, fear not; you don't have to hold a holy symbol to cast through it. You can wear it like a pendant, or emblazoned on your armor, or etc.
If you're really opposed to having 8 INT, that's perfectly all right. I'd probably bump mine to 10 if I didn't want to play someone for whom the penny does not drop quite so quickly. As it is, 8 INT is generally considered as being a C- or D student, as opposed to 10's B or B-. It's not exactly Forrest Gump territory, but I can see why one might want to pad it up.
Also, depending on when your group is going to roll, you might have time to wait until Divine Power comes out. It should be here in about three days and is expected to turn the divine classes upside-down and seriously sex up the pally.
