Had to chime in on this, as this is exactly why I keep wondering where the Pally is headed...

A Prot Pally not playing the MT can -
Blessing of Wisdom, Seal of Wisdom, *possibly* judgement of wisdom (nerfed, and may want JoL), Divine Plea @71
Still so much is AoE for a Pally and this nerfs OT damage further, and w/o BoSanc you won't be spamming anything

It just seems to get 'funny' single target... I get that the rage dependant need attention too, but they generally have tools they've been using, and don't seem to need the mob focus a Paladin needs. Particularly if *they* got BoSanc. Lol. You notice this throughout your career... you can't handle casters too well, you can't 'spike' single targets down, and to be efficient you need to try to [keep] gathering as much as possible, which isn't always going to be doable/the best thing solo/instance/raid.

Mana mobs in Outlands were a good example of shutdown... AFAIK there's no similiarity with other tanks to the degree mana drains and silences/stuns can utterly shut us down. At times it was just outlast with white damage... yuck. I get we're not going to be ideal in all cases, but interrupt/stun, pulls and movement in battle seem the worse here. I really enjoy my Pally, but I wonder what he's in for in WotLK.
