Vanquishers Sword is still pretty good at 44, especially with a Feiry enchant on it. If you really want to make it last a bit longer, grab some Dense Sharpening stones. +8 damage on a bladed weapon, and given it's 2.2 attack speed, you're adding almost 4 DPS to the weapon.
In keeping with the theme, on my BE pally, 38 atm, I was jumped by a +2 rare, it's 2 adds, and 3 regular mobs all +1 that were in the area. It took a while, and I needed all my abilities, but in the end, I was standing and they weren't. I lol'd in my gchat, and everyone began talking about how OP Pallies are in PvE. :)
