Unfortunately I know jack squat about the differences between mace and flail usage for Paladins other than their basic attack. I don't even know which weapon is used for which 3rd specialization (if Paladin 3rd specialization skills even have weapon type restrictions).
I would think flails are for the more physical focused Paladins though. Although from what I've seen, mace/magic Paladins are far more popular. Although most of said Paladins are the ones that like to faceroll everyone and everything into the wall in PvP including their poor Priest brethrens.
(Come to think of it, is there even a dedicated Paladin user here at SP?)
EDIT: Okay, Paladin 3rd specialization skills don't have weapon restrictions. The difference between both specializations is essentially magic DPS and tanking/counterattacking. I'm actually surprised at the really low number of Paladin skills that actually use the physical attack stat, as most of their offensive skills seem to either be magic only or use both physical and magic damage. So maybe there's hope for your flail yet, unless flail Paladins are extremely rare in Gerrant.
