indeed...some people have mentioned it->retri pala has awesome burst damage fom time to time but relies heavily on the gear...unlike prot, which is my pala's specc ;) i can easily tank 5 mobs of my lvl and i got greens + a few blues (lvl 54 mind you)...also i beat lvl 60 rogues sometimes

anyway i tried holy too and i liked it actually...
do what you want to do and quit flaming retri palas those days are over
