Ret Pally 2 P T10 Love/HateFollow

Well last week I got my 2 peice T10 bonus. I'm rolling 2 T9/2 T10 atm until I can get 4 T10. The thing is I don't know wether I love it or hate it. Let me explain. I know it's a DPS boost. I have seen the math at EJ and it's quite obvious in my recount and WoL logs.

But one of the things I liked about pally was it's non mashy rotation. Tired faceroll jokes aside I really liked that the rotation had a mellow pace. I know that's boring to your average ADD afflicted 13 year old but to a slightly older adult like me it was welcome.

I actually have begining carpel syndroms forming in my left hand from way to many years of PC gaming. (Think C64) If I play my rogue to much for example my hand starts to ache. And omg when hunter was my main and the SS spam macro was the hot shiz for BM hunters I wore out my nunber 2 key in raids...

Anyway so yeah I have my UI set up so I can see my abilities central beneath my character. I also dont really need to look at my fingers naturally to activate them. But now that I am watching for the proc I am doing a lot more staring at them. Which I dont really enjoy. Normally I have a small CLCret icon that I dont have to pay attention to anymore as a rotation tightener. Maybe I should get an even alert addon for the proc but dang it goes off so much that I am GCD clashing left and right. It's nuts.

So watching the pretty numbers on trash and even seeing my festergut 25 man numbers up is nice. But I kinda miss my non spammy flow. :(

*Edited to note that they have apparently hotfixed the procs from SoCom cleaves. I got it after this I think but it still seems spammy, can't imagine it on those ICC trash before. XD

It reminds me of my Arms warrior with Overpower and Sudden Death procs. This type of mash belongs to warriors of all specs not Paladins.

I was having some mana issues at first as well until I picked up a couple of Mail pieces with int on them. (yes they were a DPS upgrade even with Int and awesome for my crit 2 T9, spreadsheet and rawr ftw) Now I am mana positive again with Divine Plea used early. I do have to be careful with threat though on those big ICC trash pulls. On the fun side I did 15k DPS on the first room in lower spire. Don't nerf me bro.

I'm getting used to the extra procs now as well. Still can be a bit GCD clashy sometimes though.

Oh and as a side note I picked up the Herkuml War token. Was tired of looking at DMC:G. Although Rawr says its only a 50 DPS increase those 20 procs go up really fast and seem to proc on DS and cleaves. Also I think the haste(almost 500 now) is pushing the procs of 2 T10 up as well. Combine this thing with Tiney Abom in a Jar and ohh baby it should be fun.
