Well, here is a thread on your thoughts on them. Why? Because I know a lot of people who are violently opposed to them.
Personally, I am switching Holy when I hit 70. Though I still couldn't imagine levelling Holy, or Prot for that matter - I think Retribution is the way to go for levelling and especially after 2.3 they can be a decent spec. A pally's goodness mixed with Retri goodness makes a good combination, in my way of thinking.
Why? Well, a ret paladin has 23% increased damage.
6% when using all 2h weapons
2% from Improved Santity Aura
15% when Vengence stacks (Which as a ret paladin, I can tell you early on every fight)
Then theres also 15% reduced stats on target (It's a chance on hit), which also happens a lot.
Then theres a second stun. Not to mention "Eye for an Eye", which is great for PvP.
There is also Pursuit of Justice, which is 15% faster run/mount speed. That is really good for lower levels, and still great in PvP. Being able to catch up to someone whos running is great.
I usually do top DPS in instances, though I guess you could argue it's because my gear is pretty decent for my level, or that they suck. PvP I can own solo, like 1 on 1 - But mostly because I'm a paladin, no so much my spec. Sometimes I find it great being Ret, especially when I own other Paladins that are Prot or Holy - But in BGs I can lack.
Well, I have to cut this post short. But please do comment with your thoughts about Retribution specced paladins.
At 70 you'll probably want to go Holy... But still, I have seen some good Ret pallies at 70.
Wish I could type more,
