Just thought i'd mention this about rets...
The entire tier 45 talents are complete garbage.
Sacred shield on a t2 ret right now is a 9.3k absorb. Which means at content it is approximately a 40kish absorb per 6 seconds for 30 seconds. This is also considered a magic effect and can be dispelled.
Selfless healer is also a magic effect and can be dispelled (each stack is a different buff)... but at current content a 3 stack heals for approximately 100k on someone else.
So effectively it ends up coming down to: are you fighting a hunter/dk/shaman/priest? Kiss your sacred shield/selfless healer stacks good bye (normally for 1 toon i'd say) which puts Selfless healer ahead because if one of them is cleaned off of their SH then the other 3 still have 75+k heals that will go out vs every 6 seconds being able to use a global to re-buff a shield that may be dispelled. Sacred Shield will however help with initial burst.
Also I want to point out that a lot of things hit for over 100k... so essentially if they somehow get to 25k absorb per shield then it will only absorb one ability (like a crit obliterate, slam/mortal strike under avatar, shatter, mind blast, pyroblast, etc etc)
They obviously can't dispel it every time but the point is that it is dispellable and for a single toon the entire tier is garbage but for us both options are viable since they can't spend enough resources to clean the entire team of their cooldowns unless they are running dk/enhance/hunter/priest/paladin or something in 5's with full resources up.
