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).
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.
