My argument for retribution would be better single target DPS, plus that movement speed talent for reasons you described in your original post.

I guess he didn't make a post with all specs available, and I'd also favor ret over prot. Prot is good in some specific level ranges, much like frost blizzard AE mages, where you can grab quite a lot of mobs and AE grind(like plaguelands fields and stuff).
About the druid comment, I found that later on, it's good to come back and put 2points in shredding attacks, so you can Pounce > Mangle > Shred >Shred(if you get a clearcast), which does pretty damn good burst damage to start the fights. However many people don't bother stealthing between mobs and just run around pulling with FF and chain mangling, so whatever suits your tastes I guess.
Overall I'm not convinced of the point of this thread though, and it could very well fit into the Twinking Tricks and Alts thread since it's rather relevant. It's also not hard to find leveling specs when you go to your class forums, or wowwiki.
