sh*t, Dilbrt. Grinding is like eighty percent of the game until you get to 70. Saying something is useless unless you're grinding is like saying air is useless unless you need to breath. I'm not saying you're wrong here, it's just that you shouldn't be surprised when people disagree with you if you state your case like that.
Lets see, I spent 6 weeks grinding from 1-70 and then went raiding for 11 1/2 months. I hardly think its 80% unless you level extremely slow. Heck I felt *I* was slow to take a whole 6 weeks.

It also appears he's VERY PvE oriented, with the way he included a lot of PvP talents as "unless you PvP a lot."
Yes PvE is my main concentration, but I take it upon myself to learn and know as much about PvP as I possibly can. Actually there is a lot more theorycrafting and general forum discussions regarding PvP than PvE so its really not hard to know pretty much everything there is to know about PvP anyway. There isn't much to learn anyway, 2/3 specs are useless in PvP, and its really not hard to learn things about the only arena spec worth a damn. (Thanks Bliz)

dont forget once you hit 70 you'll be farming instances for rep and heroics for badges. both would go smoother with Reckoning. the OP is obviously not in BT or Hyjal, so for all intents and purposes he NEEDS Reckoning.
but yes, once he is part of the 0.1% of players that are pally tanks in BT he will probably spec out of Reckoning. but if he was that leet he wouldn't be posting such a question.
A.) I'm not a tank, I have a half decent tanking set (mix of blues and epics), but I've never been protection as a main spec on my paladin, ever. (Ret 1-58, Holy 58-70)
B.) Reckoning doesn't stop being useful when you're in BT/Hyjal, it stops being useful when you get to the point where you have the standard defense/avoidance to be uncritable/uncrushable, which hopefully you get in a matter of DAYS after hitting 70. Since it loses its usefulness less than a week after a player hits 70 (if he actually gets avoidance gear), I felt it appropriate to include it in the talents to avoid. You disagree, and that's your right, but most of the paladin community (if the Oboards are any indication) agrees that reckoning is useless, so I put it in there.
