Easiest DPS class to box

[Starbuck_Jones]

Paladins are silly sauce op right now. My 616 prot paladin does the following dps on the two garrison target dummies with a green 598 weapon.
11.4-11.8k with all three seals active for switching. I found no DPS loss by avoiding the heal seal because you just end up refreshing the other two much earlier than they need be. With no seal twisting Insight was around 9.5k and Truth was barely breaking 9k. I also had over 1k hps on the healer target dummy. Not sure what the actual hps is with all the overhealing.

I honestly don't know in a raid tank situation if giving up the 15% block and shield thorns for empowered seals is worth it. Also while watching the rotation, it may just be lag, but I get the impression that casting a seal doesn't follow or have the same global cooldown timer as other spells. Kinda like shaman's lava burst procs. They seem to fire off much faster than the 1.5s GCD. May just be a product of having 20% or more haste all the time?

If you can handle a melee team, I don't think you can do any better than 5x paladins right now. It's like the Lich King days on crack. They are just one button killing and healing machines.

Ret spec I was at 10k dps with dual seal switching. Prot just has so many extra skills to use for fillers than ret does.

WTB separate thread with explanation of this seal switching setup.
