Just posing feedback that I think this feature is mostly lacklustre. A typical paladin will have 14 (maybe 16 if they're buffed or built different) and thus maybe get 2-3 rounds of crit % for -AC. Not bad on paper, but the ability takes an action to cast, and so you're already losing a round of the effect by the time you've used it.
It doesn't feel very impactful either when you use it, and most of the time the -AC is so much worse than the chance to auto-crit something that there rarely is ever a situation to use it.
At the very least, I think it'd serve to make this an instant cast. Ultimately though, I think it probably needs to be reworked into something else.
