If you want to level as fast as you can, it's not worth doing. Retribution will grind through quests faster, and quests give more exp than AoE grinding does now (at least for Paladins).
Totally agree with this. If you're Protection, you sorta NEED to AoE grind in order to get even comparable exp to questing as Retribution. And most quests become painful if you're a solo Prot Paladin. If you get competition in the area or are on a PvP server, AoE grinding is even tougher. It's just not worth it, in my view.
The only time it might be worthwhile is if you have a static instance group (or just do instances a lot), and grind during while LFG. Otherwise I'd go Ret for leveling.
