Retribution Paladin PreNaxx / Naxx

Retribution paladins don't really shine up until ToC, but can do an okay damage. In this content it will be hard to beat other classes like mages, warlocks, rogues, dks etc, but every raid needs retribution paladins for the utility and supports! So don't be sad, it is viable and it is needed 1-2 for 25man raids and 1 for 10man raids.

About the speccing and builds, we don't really change anything that we have already discussed on the Retribution Guide part except the gears of course. 

We put the emphasis on the gearing in this content and the spell priorities which of course change compared to ICC content.
