For one I don't think our rotation is clunky as it is just inconvenient. I have a change that I hope will happen but realistically never will:

Either let Divine Storm work with Zealotry or take it off the shared cool down. I hate the shared cool down. It makes AOE more cumbersome and makes us choose between AoE the group or continue single target when there is less then four targets as using DS on less then four with make us have a dip in DPS by not using our cool down for holy power generation.

I have strongly also believed that consecration should be a Ret ability. Before the recent threat changes I understood why it was a prot ability, they needed the extra threat from consecrate for packs of mobs. But that point is moot now. Currently on Rag fights the mana sucking AoE abilities I have to use makes me switch seals so I can regen mana (which if they keep the change to Seal of Insight I won't be able to do that anymore) quickly.

My last two complaints have to do with the cool downs of Hammer of Justice and Repent. I strongly believe a minute is too long for both in PVE (although I would support them being a minute in PVP). If a target's cc is broken or just doesn't stick (I have had that happen soooooo many times. No one is near the mob and it breaks out of CC) and now I can't re-CC. Many times I am able to solve this with going over to them and interrupting their casts and using my racial ability Arcane torrent to silence them to keep the damage low but it is still a pain. I believe Hammer of Justice should only be a 30second cool down and Repent cool down should interact more with them. So if you keep a target in repent for one minute the cool down (or simply unavailable) should stay with them the entire time, if cc breaks it should become available to you again.

That is it.... it's a book, but when I went to put my thoughts on the Forums the thread was completely full and I got an error message after spending almost an hour typing out, revising and adding links to make my case. That is more frustrating then RNG.
