Greetings everyone,
I'm a many time reader, first time writer. These forums have been very beneficial to me and I really appreciate the high-quality input everyone gives.
I have only been playing a paladin for about 5 months and I've tried all three paladin disciplies, but the one that has stuck with me the most and best suits my playing style is Retribution. I've been Ret since level 10 and aside from some experimentation and a lot of gold spent respeccing, I've stayed that way. I'm a more casual gamer so I only have time for 5-man's, BG's and the occassional Kara or heroic stint.
Here's my armory link:

I've read a lot of posts here about how meh retadins are and I'm a little confused. For the past few weeks I've been running 5-man instances with people who are in PvP epics or better and I've topped the damage meters by a significant amount over fire mages, rogues, DPS warrios and the like. Once my vengence is fully stacked, I can on occassion critically hit with over 2000+ each in white damage, SoComm, and CS - totalling over 6000 damage in one swing.
In BG's where there's a good mix of mid/high-Tier and PvP geared opponents, I take down clothies, warriors, rogues and feral druids with ease (damn those holy pallies and resto druids. They just don't die!).
So I guess my basic question is, are Ret pallies truly meh? Or is that just a hangover from the pre-2.3 changes?
Eager to hear your thoughts
