3.1 spec 5/53/13 vs 0/53/18

I'm currently looking at something really close to this, 54/17 but I'm not sure whether to spend the last 2 points on Crusade for the additional 2% damage increase, or on Vindication.

I'm playing as Retribution currently and plan to dual spec into Prot with 3.1 and have been working on my gear so now it's time to look a lot more closely at the spec.

Vindication does nothing against raid bosses. You're also better off taking a point out of Reckoning to get a full 3/3 Crusade.

Your SOTP spec seems more attractive to me at the moment.. basically because I like to use POJ (it HAS helped me in OT situations rather than MT).

You have 4 points in Reckoning on this spec but none in Divine Guardian.

I have been told by many tanks on our server that DG is one of the useful abilities that a pally tank should have if they want to 10/25 man.

Would dropping Reckoning down to 2 points and taking DG make more sense?

btw.. this isnt a flame/dig.... I just want opinions on the spec I did instead.
Obviously with the impending addition of another t1 talent for us... reckoning is just a filler.

That will be my new spec.. well close. I will not be tanking Reckoning.

Taking SotP is strictly inferior to taking 3/5 Conviction and 2/3 Crusade, even more so if you pull an additional point from prot to go 3/3 Crusade.
