I have a 70 Holy Paladin.
I have played over seven different Paladin specs.
I leveled as Retribution, got through Outlands as Protection, and respec'd to Holy at 70... ONLY because the guild had no healers other than a 62 Shadow Priest (which isn't a healer anyway!).
Every spec has it's good points, and it's bad points.
As Ret, I did a little less DPS than the average equally geared warrior.
As Prot, I stacked spelldamage (enchants too, mind you) and held aggro far better than an equally geared Warrior (also counting the ranged "threat grabber") and +90% Threat from Righteous Fury is hard to beat! I cranked out 260+ DPS with Consecrate alone, so add in normal weapon damage, retribution aura, blessing of sanctuary (NOT BLESSING OF KINGS! 10% Stat doesn't add up to what BoSanctuary is capable of with decent spelldamage)
Holy... is Holy... you spam Flash of Light... that's about it... But, you get groups 10x easier than Ret and at least 2x easier than Prot.
