This makes some sense if you aren't using a prot pally in your raid/heroic but if you are you are trading 8% crit for 3% healing and an AOE cooldown in place of your single target one. Good for trivial damage but not hard hitting raid bosses which is really the paladin's specialty. It's worth an alternate spec for when your prot pally or ret pallly does not show up and/or you need that specific cooldown.
