At the Ret Pala discussion. You need to remember DPS isnt everything about the class. The fact that they can refresh every Paladin's Judgement can make a big difference in any fight.
Personally, I feel that WoW in general is far too easy now. No fight in TBC has been as tough as some of the Naxx bosses, and they just keep nerfing bosses further. The difference between pre-nerf M'uru and the nerfed M'uru was just lol. It totally ripped the heart and intensity out of the fight.
From Blizzards PoV, it obviously makes sense to make it easier, more players will get to the end game and play longer = $$$
My 2 cents
Paladins cant refresh every judgement now. Crusader strike was changed.
