Its going to be a pretty tough slog convincing raid leaders that Ret is a viable spec, because the single biggest problem in doing it is the Holy tree.

So long as Paladins are widely considered the game's best single target healers and DPS is a dime a dozen, Ret will have an uphill battle.

The other problem is that its hard to measure just how effective a Ret Pally's utility is. They can add 2% damage to a group and 3% to all meleers crit rates, but figuring out what that actually translates into is much harder then reading "Rogue X is above Pally Y on damage meters."

A sustained DPS boost is probably all thats needed to actually balance it, but I'm not sure that anything short of an idiotically overpowered DPS tree would actually break the stranglehold that Holy Pallies have in the eyes of raid leaders.
