No offense, but paladins haven't exactly been hurting the last couple expansions on being able to get their hands on spell plate, although admittedly it hasn't always been the exact stat mix they wanted (it never is, for any spec); reforging will help.

No, it's been far more the case in my experience that the availability of spell plate is a problem for everybody who isn't a healadin. The first couple times it drops, yay! the healadins get one. Then the folks specced ret/prot. And then once those've got one for their never-to-be-used hypothetical holy spec, it keeps dropping, taking the place of somebody else's upgrade.

Check it out some time; there's just as much healadin plate as there is prot or DPS plate, setting aside tier gear. Just about everybody hopes they come up with a solution to this issue that doesn't involve a) wearing mail, leather, or cloth on a healadin (devs say: paladins should be in plate) or b) turning DPS stats into caster stats (devs say: having a healadin being a force for melee damage is overpowered, unless they're bad healers. And nobody wants to raid with a bad DPS that can almost heal. Or a bad healer who can almost DPS. Take your pick.)
