ok so i have not got a paladin past 52 but i have read quite a bit on them. I had an idea after seeing sheath of light to kind of incorporate a dps to heal kind of thing. here is the spec i thought of glyphs included.

Now again just a rough thought, its got all the key ret talents with some healing ones thrown in for those instant flashes. sure it sacrifices some dps but brings so much utility in theory, i dont know, maybe a good idea for someone who wants to heal but has attention span of pure ret dps (spam any button off cd). I welcome and suggestions, opinions whatever you got to throw my way.

There's been a recent thread on the forum about ret healers. Conclusion - they're not good for things generally.

ok so even though the only changes as far as what your doing in a fight is using FoL on ppl instead of exo? With a grid+clique add on set up its easy, AoW proc>FoL who needs it. otherwise its just a few diff glyphs. I guess from a outside perspective it looks really useful. and just to clarify i am not talking about actually spending ANY casting time during a fight unless its wipe prevention.

Then what's the point? You can't fulfill the roll of a full time healer that way, so you'd still need one. Just DPS if you want to be ret.

Yea I don't think this is any different than what Ret pallies could be doing with a regular spec. I don't think that the spec and glyph choices are really going to offer more value than dps options, since ur only healing on AoW procs.
Also, consider the amount of intellect you have with ret gear, and you'll see that Divine Intellect is pretty worthless.
The spec+glyphs you have may be useful if you had a holy set to switch to and decided to fully heal the odd fight, but since you can dual spec there's less of a point.

I beg to differ. Ive been using a Substandard spec on and off for a while now and I love it.

It's more challenging (and thereby more fun for some) to try to beat enrage timers using a fish as your DPS weapon. However, your group is going to suffer for it.

Do you enchant your healing fish with INT or SP?

Obviously you enchant it with Superior Potency. With Sheath of Light that's an extra 19.5 SP!

My nearly 8k hps on Sapph begs to differ. Go try it out before you say that it's no good.
It's called JoL. Any pally can do it.

Provide evidence:

(Currently broken last I heard, but old sessions might still be functional?)
If not one of these, a screenshot of your recount ability breakdown will probably do.
