My biggest problem with the 4e paladin is the fact that their marking ability relies on Cha, and not some secondary stat like Lay on Hands does. This makes Str-based paladins worse defenders than Cha-based paladins, which doesn't seem right.
Any other fixes?

Str-adins are more striker.

I disagree. Charisma is a primairy stat for paladins. About as much as wisdom is a primairy stat for clerics.
- Str-clerics that dump wisdom heal less hp.
- Str-paladins that dump charisma deal less damage with there challenge

I don't see a problem.
