The big thing is the change to Seals and Judgements. The JIT nature of Salvation will require DPS to more closely watch their threat. (In any case, Salvation should never have been used as a threat mitigator, but a DPS enabler.)

It still looks as if Retribution will be mana-starved in any extended fight but the DPS scaling is incredible. The higher flexibility of Protection and Holy makes this class a little more appealing to those of us that are not masochists.

Latest beta:

Melee hits (and Crusader Strike, of course) no longer renew Judgements. We'll be popping them more often - which means GCD and mana. The GCD is what bothers me, as it will affect Holy Paladins the most.
Shield of Righteousness (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53600) does not scale any more. Disappointing for the meterwhores, but expected as it was insane damage.
