Paladins for sure.
Which one is easier to kill bosses?
Well my BaM is only 130 so i dont know how good it can be, but i know Paladins are great bossers.
which class is worth to play?
Both, i mean if u like the class then its worth it.
does dual blade have good survivability and bossing potentials?
DB dont have good survivality but their bossing potential is amazing, asura is maybe the best hyper skill around.

In theory. That skill doesn't work at normal magnus or gollux, for example.

Paladin has better survivability and is better at bossing than BaM. Most notably, Paladin ignores resistances and can reduce the damage of %HP attacks that would OHKO every other class.

My Pally is superior to my BaM in terms of survivability, it just won't die

But Battle Mages are tanks also. Blood Drain helps us regen really fast and our tele hyper gives us a slight iframe. Plus we get damage absorption from auras and dodge rate. BaM 4LYFE

[quote=IsGamer]BaM is also good but it's much better at 170+ (BKB), that's where the fun starts.[/quote]

Paladin is beast after 4th job and it's extremely tanky, the bossing skills are also nice and dynamic too.

DB is decent, but it requires much more funding than other classes just to be as strong as the above said.

I think paladins have both better survivability and is better at bossing.
Dual blade is expensive af and in my opinion not better than paladins at bossing + they have low survivability

#BaMs4lyff tho
