i hate everyone who says ret pallys suck.  i ope you know on gruuls for instance (ranged dps heavy fight!) we have two heavily geared in some arena and some pve gear (one more than the other on each pally)  and both of them always top raid dps charts against full epics TK and SSC geared ranged dpsers.  neither of them are allowed to use avenging wrath until very low % because they'll pull aggro.  both of them sit there and cit crusader strikes for 4k.  give this sword to a retadin if u want!
