Pally Threat Zomg!

First off I have never played a paladin and have no clue as to how they generate threat and what abilities they use for DPS. With that said, I was running with a pally tank in naxx10 the other day and he had mostly ilvl200 gear but was generating upwards of 10k threat. Is that normal? Also a retadin in the raid with ilvl200 gear was pulling about 6k threat but only 3kdps. Why are these paladins raping the threat meter like this? I'm a pretty well geared DK but only pull roughly 6-7k threat and felt pretty lame when the retadin was riding my ass on the threat meter.
Thanks,
Sabre

If a ret pld's tps was higher than his dps, he was using Righteous Fury, especially considering that

lowers the threat/damage ratio.

So was this retadin just retarded or does righteous fury have DPS implications as well?

He was just being retarded. The only thing besides increased threat Righteous Fury is good for is the reduced damage from the talent, a talent no ret paladin should have.

No, he wasn't. That would require him to do 3.7k dps on a single target. That is not doable in T7 gear, even on Thaddius.
What you likely saw was a brief spike. This is quite common, and in fact should happen fairly regularly when a ShoR crits.

also don't forget that both the prot and the Ret are working on multi target also this fight is against undead and pala's have another aoe attack that can use on them and also
exorcism
and
holy warth
will crit on undead meaning more threat.

If a paladin tank is using Exorcism (post 3.2), you need to get yourself a new tank.
EDIT: On a slightly related note, about 2 days after hitting 80 on my paladin, I went to OT a Naxx 10 run with some friends. I was in some pretty terrible gear, with what amounted to about 35% avoidance, and 21k hp unbuffed, and about 750 strength and 1600 stam. On Patchwerk I was doing about 5k TPS, is this normal for Paladins since the Seal of Corruption change in 3.2? I even only have 2/3 Crusade and 2/2 SA. (Although, I admit it is pretty cool to be sitting at 100% mana for the whole fight >.>)

I agree. My gear score with my best gear on is well over 2500, hit is 240+, exp is 27+, and with my CDs, I am peaking at 10k TPS on a zerg. That's typically with TotT and MDs too. Non-zerg and no CDs, I am consistantly about 6-7k TPS with maybe some spikes over that. Highest dps threat I have ever seen was 7k on a zerg, but that person was cracking out over 7k dps.

You need to explain this. I use it all the time.
It's just to good to pass when pulling.

Yep and probably with the help rogue's TotT and Hunter's MD.

Beat me to it.
Pally threat is way overpowered...in a raid full of rogues and hunters targeting the pally.
