Right, but the problems that the Paladin class faces are universal in many ways - lack of CC, all of their spells in one school, etc. The gap between Holy and the other talent specs in PvP would appear to be more or less intentional on Blizzard's part - Prot does not (nor should it, necessarily) compete in PvP, and Ret has situational value (
The World of Warcraft Armory is a Ret Paladin in my guild with a fairly competitive 3v3 featuring a Warrior and a Priest).
I guess I would rather see the class improved than the gap between the talent specs narrowed. I don't expect to see Prot Paladins, much like Prot Warriors, well represented in Arenas any time soon.
