Well , the damage that ret is able to dish out is ridiculous. I've seen many pvp videos after AoW nerf, where they basically 2-3 shot everyone (yes, there were also full s3 + vindicator / guardian warriors and so forth.. ), not giving them a single chance to attack back ( i can give the link to this particular video where this one ret pally solos most of the instances as well as showing that pvp content).
As i said, this thing will get evened out . The main reason to bring ret paladin to raids is the utility anyway , but not in tbc thanks to holy paladin being able to give almost the exact same benefits to others, other than the +2% melee dmg to their respectful group.
This thing will change in WotLK , though.
And i feel that i do need to remind that paladins are a hybrid class and should _not_ compete near the same level of dps as the pure classes do and make up for this with the utility they can give to everyone.
