Either way, if you are levelling as prot, your healing comes almost solely from SoL or JoL, not via your healing spells.

I'd submit that with the 2.3 Quest XP buff, Retribution is the more viable leveling spec. There is simply more XP gained by finishing quests rather than grinding now, and that lends itself to single target DPS. Sure, there are kill XX type of mobs quests that can be trivial with Prot, but only if they are melee types of mobs.
Also, Persuit of Justice is a great leveling talent. 15% increased movement (and mounted) speed available as soon as level 22? It adds up a
lot over time.
