Am I on the right path with the way I have spent my points. Holy/Prot/Ret. I want to use 2handers as well.

What are you trying to do? Be a 2-handed tanking healer?

Yes :]. A serious note, I want to two-hand solo.I was thinking to spend all the rest into Ret.

honestly, no, that's not really gonna be as useful as going into just one tree for now. You don't need to start getting into a second tree till at least mid to late 40's in my opinion. I'd put it all in ret till at the very earliest 40. My personal opinion is go ret till 60 or so (at around 51 you'll start putting some talents in holy/prot to round off the ret spec). At that time you can swith to holy or prot (fully not hybrid) if you don't plan to be ret at end game.

Well I always liked going down ret until SoC then going down holy until SF at the very least. From there you can keep going down ret, but you don't sacrifice too much dps while gaining a TON of survivability (i.e. the difference between being able to solo group quests and not being able to solo them).

Honestly, your gear is going to do more for your dps than your talents (for the most part) so just make sure you grab as much str as possible and get the slowest 2-hander you can find.

hmm, that never really crossed my mind, to be honest. i'm a fan of staying in one spec till you hit your 41 point talent (at least for pallys) before starting down another tree. i'll add this though as an alternate idea for leveling when i get that part in my guide. i personally rolled ret for DPS and found 5% crit, and 3% more damage to humanoids, demons, undead and elementals, and um, the extra talent more valuable for my style of play. i can use bubble to heal every 5 mins and against one mob HoJ every 60 sec to seal if need be. i find killing a mob faster works better for me. if i need to i bandage after the fight.

i'll add both ideas and let people decide for themselves.
