To prove that Blizzard has absolutely know idea what to do with paladins:
Pally thoughts on the changes? Note, I've only ever seen one person use Repentance. Nice little spell sometimes, I guess.

* Blessing of Kings, the former 31 point talent in Retribution, has been shifted to the 11 point talent in the Protection tree.
* Blessing of Sanctuary, the former 11 point talent in Protection, has been shifted to the 21 point talent in the same tree.
* Holy Shield, the former 21 point talent in Protection, has been shifted to the 31 point talent in the same tree and has had its mana cost slightly reduced.
* Repentance, the former 31 point talent in Protection, has been shifted to the 31 point talent in the Retribution tree.
Please be aware that, as developer and player alike continue to test patch 1.9, further changes will be made if deemed necessary.
Before you ask why numbers weren't buffed during the shift, please understand that talent trees aren't necessarily designed to get much stronger as you get deeper into the tree, but rather unlock more options along the same basic line. Other class trees are designed in precisely the same way.
The developers will continue to evaluate the situation and make changes should they find something lacking, never fear.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
