And here we thought paladins were going to be buffed this patch...
I really long for some specific Blizzard insights into why they consider the class balanced/imbalanced on the specific things they doing. For instance, transferring Repentence to Retribution and then bouncing up Holy Shield/etc. Or nerfing JoWisdom's ability to restore mana to casters and hunters, transforming a formerly raid-useful paladin skill into a front-line-paladins-only skill, while not giving paladins any real improvement in survivability on the front line.
My point of view is that of a PvE paladin doing instances, and a PvE druid doing the raids, so I'm not so much concerned with PvP, but... I'm just not seeing any big improvements for PvE paladins.
