Stubborn Protection Paladins

[Lyonheart]

Hey davidmage, and gratz for the achievements!

I might start leveling my third 10man team, and paladins have always been interesting class and fun to play with.
I'm not sure about their spec though. For leveling 10x retri sounds just right, but I was thinking if 10x prot would be just as viable?

(eg. I remember leveling my priests as shadow, but afterwards thinking, 5x or 10x Smites would have worked just fine I guess )

Since blessed hammer is the in the first tier, ( its also the best dps choice in the tier ) I would pick prots if i were doing it again. BH just mows down mobs like cutting grass with a lawnmower, combined with concentration later..it is just insane! And like I've said before, it is a visual delight as well 8)

With that said, Its easy enough to switch specs for fights that you will spend most your time running around ( seprentrixz anyone). Like i choose Holy Shield for high movement fights where the bosses are firing off a lot of magic gunk at your the whole time. But for almost all other situations BH is best.
