I usually default to 1x Prot 4x Ret due to the much, much higher DPS. Annoyingly you can not switch specs mid key run so I can't pick and choose per boss.
That said Prot is favorable for specific dungeons where some mechanics just demolish the rets. These would usually be the end bosses like in shrine of the storm, siege of boralus, underrot, etc.
I've not really pushed it, but I did manage a +6 and with the right key and affixes I'm fairly confident I could go a bit higher.
I might give Prot more of a go this week due to having Grievous to deal with. Will see how it goes.
