[UPDATED] Tankadins and Retadins! Speak!
While I effused about the great change to the otherwise lackluster Blessing of Sanctuary -- it should really be named Blessing of Badass -- Paladins have yet to receive the promised second pass. There have been massive changes to the class itself, but there's more to come. Hopefully on the positive side.The Paladin community's new "Beacon of Light", Ghostcrawler, has popped up on the forums saying that the second pass is forthcoming. Blizzard is looking at making major changes to the Protection tree, stating that the developers feel that there are too many mandatory talents and mitigation talents that don't do anything interesting.
If you've got brilliant ideas about how to improve the Protection tree, now's your chance to speak up. Ghostcrawler is putting the entire Paladin community up to task by giving feedback on which talents are fun and which ones aren't; what areas feel bloated and what feels barren; and talents that seem mandatory, talents that seem fun but optional, and talents that often get the shaft. Head on up to the forums now and let Blizzard hear your thoughts. Given all the great changes to the Paladin class that have shown up in the Wrath Beta, I have a very good feeling that Blizzard actually listens. [EDIT: Ghostcrawler also mentions that the Beta forums aren't the only source of feedback they have, so head over to the Paladin forums, too, in the hopes of getting heard]
[UPDATE: Ghostcrawler has made the same call to Retribution Paladins, as well. Jump over to the thread now...]

"In that case, I'd love to see Blessing of Sanctuary turned into a pure talent that does not require a 'Blessing'."
Looks like I'm not the only one with this idea. I counted 12 other comments like this in just the first 3 pages of posts on the forums. Make it so number one!

I am a tank... and enjoy it. Even if I'm being tempted to respec to Ret for the expansion.
The one thing I would like to see in the Protection tree would be some sort of counter attack on hit since we are reactive tanks... some sort of chance on hit talent that causes dmg on hit... something like Ret Aura but for tanks but with a low chance instead of being a guaranteed counter like Ret Aura.
And that BoS turned into a talent idea would be excellent.

And I know about Holy Shield, our baseline ability... would be more of a counterattack. I'm thinking more of a "chance when mob hits you with a critical" talent thing...
Just an idea...
