Reasons why this was a dumb post:

Once Wrath of the Lich King is released, every retribution paladin will be hurriedly leveling to 80 and unlocking a Death Knight.
Every Retribution Paladin? Every single one is dissatisfied with their current class and talent setup that they are just looking for something similar yet different enough? I doubt that. Also, you only single out Retribution paladins, I think there will be lots of different class and talent combos that will be hurriedly trying to get a DK.

Why? Because that is exactly the kind of playstyle they envisioned when they specced Ret; an offensive, plate wearing, spell casting, damage dealer.
Again,
every Ret wants to be an offensive, plate wearing, spell casting, damage dealer. Again, as has been pointed out, only most of the stubborn "I don't heal" Paladins would fit in this mindset. These are horrible paladins who probably should have rerolled a Warrior a long time ago, but may find their home in the DK. I don't see this as being an issue so much as an inevitability. And honestly, it'll be weeding out those unfit retadins that give them a bad name. Getting rid of those may remove some of the stigma that Ret paladins shouldn't even be invited into 5-mans.

Blizzard should simply replace or get rid of the Retribution tree altogether because it is going to be made obsolete by the introduction of the Death Knight.
Agree or Disagree? Why or why not?
The solution to your problem is not to further diversify or make Ret more versatile for the player. Just get rid of the tree because "no one" is going to use it. This is just ridiculous, may have been an exaggeration, I dunno, but it seems to serious to be an exaggeration. Ret won't be obsolete, it will be refined. It will have washed away the impurities and paladins who want to play the spec for what it is will finally get the chance to shine.
When making an argument, it's so much easier to make your case without talking in ultimates. Words like Every and Obsolete and things like that, just sound ridiculous when read and makes your post seem, as Dilbrt said, dumb.
