Question is, can SoR and Judgements be dodged? AFAIK, only normal melee and HoR can be dodged/parried/blocked.

Judgement cannot be avoided. HoR is funky, some avoidance works but it's classed as a ranged ability. ShoR cannot be avoided. Again, funky classification.

Edit: Actually, I don't remember which is melee and which is ranged, but judgement and ShoR cannot be avoided, no. I think. Maybe?

This means Evasion ends up being useless for a Rogue in a fight with a Prot Pally. If a Prot Pally could keep a Rogue in close, like using HoJ when the Rogue goes to Sprint, it might be possible for a Prot Pally to kill a very good Rogue (cause a Rogue is going to be doing piddly damage against that much DR and shield blocks when the Pally can get the Rogue into his front arc).

Okay, seriously, when has letting the paladin get you in his front arc ever been healthy for a rogue? I submit that you confused a bad rogue for a good rogue.

I guess you haven't seen some of the crit Holy Lights that Holy Pallies can throw. I've had a Holy Pally heal Taha from around 2.5k to 3k heallth up to full at 23k health with full raid buffs. With enough haste and with their talents, a Holy Pally can pull of HPS on the order of 10k+. I'd like to see the other healing classes pull that off.
