This thread gives me a headache. Neutral

All i could see when i read the blue post was awesome sanctuary will be useful, awesome raids will be way more flexibly no more "I have i to wait 2 hours for X-class to show up so we can do this boss".

I will still be taking imp devotion aura we usually don't run with more then one resto druid so it be very likely whole raid(tank included) wont get the 3% extra heal, beside on many fights we don't even want the healers or raid to be close to the mobbs as they do some massive 30 yard range aoe or what not.
This will give me 100% up time with devotion aura, almost 2k extra armor, 3% more healing and the best part about this is i will never have to relie on someone else to do it for me! YES PLX if you ask me.

Sanctuary and BoK might prove to be a problem tho if BoK is not made baseline or moved up the prot tree, else the prot pally be the only pally with them and whats worse they are both tanking blessings.

To Shoju.
Rogues will always be the number 1 dps class and those they will always have a spot in raids. Beside even if cats and dps warriors have the same dps rogues have way more survivability then they both have. Vanish and cloak of shadow is the shit to have in melee.

Anyone else notice that Curse of Weakness now has a 20% slow debuff component but that's not listed as not-stacking with Judgements of the Just, Thunderclap, etc.? I'm guessing that's just an oversight but it's probably worth asking about.

Also since BoM is likely to be redundant now in big raids, this would be a great time to make Kings baseline so ret pallies can bring it while we bring our new damage reduction.

Making shout and BoM overlap really looked silly. Now it's a buff that works solely on casters, and only when glyphed for it.

TBC Blessing of sanctuary, anyone?

Don't forget that ret pallies also bring Hand spells and their JoW provides some pretty exceptional mana returns to the raid on top of JotW. The big issue with the JotW change is the paladin's personal regen issues, but I don't think that would be very hard to tune. As it stands, assuming they actually do tune the class, ret paladins still look to be quite desireable. Also, they can easily go 11 into prot to pick up kings if that doesn't go baseline.
