Paladin spellpower

So it has been awhile since i've really gotten into pally tanking (2.2 was my last outing), and I have noticed SP has now been relegated to being a caster stat and we get our SP from STR stacking. So what abilities still benefit from our SP? Also if the answer is more than 1 ability, for threat would it still be beneficial at all to swap on a SP weapon?

Thanks in advance

Ok, after playing around with Soul Blade and Blade of the Burning Sun and checking a few things on Wowhead, spellpower does seem to be a useless stat now (as I am sure some/most people already knew). DPS stat on caster weapons are abysmal (same ilvl weps, but caster one have about 50% of the DPS) and while there are a few Paladin abilities affected, the loss in white DPS + CS/HotR offsets any gains.

Guess I answered my own question, phooy.

Re: Paladin spellpower

hey,

According to thecks Guide ( viewtopic.php?p=593315#p593315 )
SP is the third worst stat (mastery and int close by!) and will net you nothing!
