Actually, shield spec is not a huge bonus in 25 man raids. Being able to mitigate 1300 instead of 1000 is not a huge deal when the boss is hitting you for 8-10K. Yeah, it's maybe 4-5% more mitigation, but those 8 points can be used in the revised ret tree. It is definitely a more viable tree now.

But that is still only raid tanking. I've seen raid tanks put ten points into holy for intellect and uninterruptable heals. They grab aggro, pop holy shield and let that and sanc keep threat up, and then sit back and throw a heal to themselves when necessary. Seems a weird way to tank, but when you're geared you can do whatever you want.
