Looking for help with PvP RetFollow

I decided to start leveling a pvp ret pally with the boa gear. While it has been going well and I have been having lots of fun, I am running into problems with talents. I am only level 25 and I can't figure out where to go with the talents. If anyone has a pvp leaveling build I would love to hear it.

The other question I had is I was also doing random dungeons and after a few problems with the group I ended up tanking. It went well enough I decided to try signing up as a tank for another one. I was asked a few questions being ret specced with a two-handed weapon, but it went well with few problems and no one dying. How long is it viable for me to tank as ret with a two-hander? Is the BoA gear op enough to get by?

Even at level 80 the pvp ret spec is barely different to the pve one, and many of the talents are picked purely for arena style fights. Prot tree contains a lot of good stuff, but you definitely want to stick to ret til at least level 60 (since the more powerful abilities are further down the tree and messing around picking up improved hammer of justice will prevent you getting them til much later).

Something like that is as pvp as you can get at lv 60. You can move down into seals of the pure for extra damage, or divine strength (less extra dmage but opens up more prot pvp talents like stoicism and guardian's favour). Hand of freedom will break stuns on you and allies when used, it's very powerful.

You can tank perfectly well as ret up til level 55-60 or so when the mobs start doing damage that needs to be blocked or avoided all together. Ret tanks amazingly up to that point though with seal of command for cleaving threat and righteous fury.
