I like the potential of this. =)

One important suggestion I will make: Go to Hyjal first. Clearing the whole zone (which is quite fast) will be almost enough to reach Revered. This will reward you with:

Arcanum of Hyjal: your Head enchant
Cloak of the Dryads: a very nice looking cloak

There is nothing else for from this faction once you hit revered, so you can save all your Tabard runs for the other factions.

Hi! I have a suggestion for Holy Paladins:
http://bis.vilepickle.com/

It helps a lot to see the best equipment you can get and where.. It´s not 100%, but it's pretty cool.

And i like to add.. it was really worth for me doing Archaeology. I got:

Ring of the Boy Emperor

Tyrande's Favorite Doll

Good luck to all!

2/4 piece pvp set should not be overlooked for ret, along with the glove bonus the loss in rating stats vs resil is outweighed by the extra strength.

I really like how the epic cloak's name was censored. Goooooood work Blizzard.

NECK:

Carrier Wave Pendant - Blackrock Caverns - Ascendant Lord Obsidius
The Lustrous Eye - 1250 Justice Points


The JC neck really isn't better then the Justice Point one.

WRIST:
Shackles of Undeath - Shadowfang Keep - Lord Godfrey


You are forgetting the Ramkehen epic bracers.

LEGS:
Stone-Wrapped Greaves - Honored - The Earthen Ring
Greaves of Splendor - 2200 Justice Points
Triton Legplates - Throne of the Tides - Ozumat


The Justice point legs are better then The Earthen Ring ones.

RINGS:
Elementium Moebius Band - Jewelcrafting
Ring of Three Lights - Lost City of the Tol'vir - Siamat
Felsen's Ring of Resolve - Revered - Therazane


As with the JC neck, the ring is rather sub par. It is also worth adding the Ramkehen ring on this list. The mastery is very good.

TRINKETS
Porcelain Crab - Throne of the Tides - Mindbender Ghur'sha
Leaden Despair - The Stonecore - High Priestess Azil


You are missing A LOT of trinkets that are very good.

RELIC:
Stalagmite Dragon - The Stonecore - Slabhide


I would add the valor point one to this...but that is just me.

It's really good. Mastery + Dodge with a high up time. I actually want to replace my Figurine - King of Boars with it.

At the current moment, ret paladins must look for anything that doesn't have mastery on it, it will probably change at 4.0.6, but for the moment, all items with crit/haste should be ranked higher than the other crap.

Same goes for expertise/hit, it's all better than mastery. But keep the mastery gear in the bank... you might have to use it soon.

Also, Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds is the best pre-raid weapon, obtainable via archelology.. just this week we had 2 people in our guild to get it, so anyone can if they grind it.

I somewhat cringe to suggest this, but hammering out 5 wins/week in arenas will give you access to the PvP weapons. It takes about 1 hour per week to do so and it takes 2 weeks for a single hander and 3 weeks for a 2 hander.

The weapons despite being PvP weapons, are still upgrades until raid gear is available for ret and holy. Not so sure about prot.
