Introduction
I WILL MAINLY BE UPDATING THE GUIDE VERSION OF THIS.
LINK
Since there's no up to date ret information compilation on these forums as far as I can tell, I figured I would write one to slow down
some
questions.
Feel free to discuss the guide here and ask any questions you may have.

I can tell you the caps wouldn't have changed, for one thing. That would require a fundamental change in game mechanics or a new, really obvious 'you now get x% hit' talent.

You aren't supposed to be able to do a lot of healing. You're a DPS.

A) lowering your CS/DS Cd doesn't really matter if you're still casting two filler spells between CSes anyway.
B) Haste does not lower your GCD for any of your weapon abilities (only your spells).
C) Everything you mentioned is also improved by crit.

Thanks for answering queries whilst I've been inactive pezz.
I'm planning on fixing this up for 4.2 soon. I think most of it is right. Haven't proof read it.
I like it alot- that macro was pretty gey- you dont press exorsicm accidently or unless if you have a severe typing or clicking problem-(depends some people use the mouse, others the key board). Most importantly you did not mention glyphs.
It's an optional macro. No one is making you use it. If you do use it, it might save you a weapon swing timer reset. I don't see anything wrong with using it just as a precaution. I personally have exorcism near my other main keys, and sometimes my hand falls to rest in the wrong position and I press it (not that I use the macro anyway).
If you look at the talent build, all the appropriate glyphs are inserted.

I have worked long to get my paladin to 85 and am disappointed in the size of the retro pally heals, unless there is an active bonus, I can't heal myself let alone anyone else..... am I missing something? Like a talent or glyph or brain? Please advise....
When questing or solo'ing, I use
Seal of Insight
. If mobs are handled responsibly, you should need no healing at all. As far as party heals go, I only do so in raids and rarely at that. I'll throw out a
Lay on Hands
when the healers are squealing.
Holy Radiance
can help out when the raid is stacked and damage is distributed.
I've found all other healing spells to be practically useless and a huge mana drain. Even a fully-charged Word of Glory is weak-sauce.

I made this spreadsheet to aid myself in building my retribution paladin. It was my goal to provide a quick snapshot that I could gather everything I needed to know in one glance.
The BiS contains Professions and ZA/ZG up to Non-Heroic Raids (BwD, BoT, FL). Heroic items were left off because those are outside of the range of my abilities at this time.

I'll make a reference to it, but I have a few concerns.
1. You didn't list
as a possible extra talent. It's not that great, but in my opinion, it at least trumps
which you gave as an option.
2. You said "Exo > HoW against undead". However, Exo is already higher than HoW on your priorities list. (You also gave HoW as HW)
3. Your multiple target priorities don't give any HP spells.

I think I've made those adjustments. The rotation could still be tweaked I'm sure.

I'm really not sure what to mark it as. It's basically a visual summary of my guide.
I'm also thinking of using this as a discussion thread and moving the whole OP to the guide section. Ideas?

I would think people would come to the paladin forum before they would go to the guide forum.
Also might add:
Beer-Basted Crocolisk
Flask of Titanic Strength
Elixir of the Master
Golemblood Potion

I noticed that you have this, "You should be using (Skill #74246) on your weapon." and I think you meant this, "You should be using
Landslide
on your weapon."

Cheers. I was wondering why that was happening.
