All Paladins bring Auras, Blessings and Cleanse. The more the better.
A Retribution Paladin adds 3% crit from all damage sources, regardless of group.
If there is a second Paladin judging Wisdom, Crusader Strike refreshing judgments can make a big difference, especially in longevity fights. If a second Paladin is a tank then Judgment of the Crusader further increases the efficiency and dps of the tank.
Sanctity Aura is currently being tested as +2% damage bonus to the group, instead of +healing. This would place the Retribution Paladin in a DPS group rather than the tank group.
A Retribution/Holy spec can heal very well.
A Retribution Paladin CAN do good DPS, not the best, but its good compared to all the other roles a Paladin can fill.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. There is no perfect build, you use what each individual brings to a raid and adjust to your strengths and weaknesses. Every class has multiple ways to bring valuable abilities to a raid and I refuse to pigeonhole any class into a "must have" build. Which makes me very happy to be in a guild that doesnt "make" people spec a certain way. Rather, we discuss our strengths and weaknesses and let intelligent players make choices that improve the guild as a whole. It also makes playing the game enjoyable and not a job.
Back on subject, yes Shamans and all other classes/builds have a place in end game content. But as always, you might have to find the right guild first.
