You're striker-heavy and don't appear to be very versatile at all. With three strikers already, there's no way in heck you should hybrid as a fourth. Damage is no longer king in 4E. Stop thinking 3E/video games. The three strikers you have aren't all that durable and (especially with the Warlord on holiday) your front line would be extremely soft. Defenders and leaders are the heart of good parties, not strikers.  Paladin/Ranger is not a combo that would appear to be a good fit at all. You'd be better off mimicing the flavor with a Fighter/Cleric if you want to hybrid. That would give you a heal and some radiant and ranged powers and the Wisdom primary for the Cleric is the secondary for the fighter.  Optimally, one of the rogues would play something else and you could stay a straight Paladin if you like the class that much. Again, forget the "how much damage can I do" thoughts, it's already covered. The party's extremely weak in other areas. If you hybrid and all else stays the same, you really weaken the front line. Unless your DM expressly build encounters not to gank you, it could mean big trouble.</blockquote>
