well you see, the FAQ covers what a paladin can do, and the reason i referred to it is that people have different gaming styles.. in other words... your question was too vague
your question is like asking "which color of the rainbow is the prettiest?"
and my link is like showing you the rainbow

Hey guys i really wanna make a pally, i wanna do a lot of pvp on him and was going to go ret spec, probably holy when i hit 70, which class would make the best pally for me?
all positive responses are highly appreciated =D
Do you mean race? I would say:
Holy = Human/Draenei.
Retribution = Dwarf all the way.
Before you hit lv 70, i would like to tell you something here first. Not many people accepts retribution paladin for any instances or raids. Holy is the most popular build in every aspect among the three paladin builds.(suitable for PVP, PVE, Arena)

sorry i assumed you meant spec with "class"
i don't reallly agree or disagree with hollypally though
I think that dranei is good for ret/prot since they have a HoT
dwarf is probably the best for prot due to remove blees effect
i would go human for holy though
thb it's personal opinion since the only difference is racial traits

Blood elf is the only choice.

the main point of SoV is the DoT rather than pure damage output vs SoR

Our dots, as far as I seen. Is useless, either imp sor, or socommand can do better then it. It's only useful if you don't have either, and sor get's more from sd then sov. It's a proven fact. As a prot pally, I get a additional 100 dps (which turns into threat) more then sov with imp sor and my pally gear.

SoR has an average ~25 DPS without spell damage
SoV has 50 fully stacked
there's a difference of less than 1% spell damage coefficient (0.7%)
imp SoR ~27 DPS
that means it has to catch up 23 DPS on spell damage i have 3.2k spell damage on my calculator for some reason...
i think my calculation is off somewhere... someone correct it
anywho... the main advantage of SoV is dual-tanking
place 1 DoT, switch, renew Dot, switch... repeat

Sor with 400+ sd actually causes a intense amount of threat, with it, I can get more then 20K threat within a couple seconds in the fight without the AvW and avS stratagy you use, I actually can use AvW in mid fight and generate even more threat, and besides you need the sd anyways so it makes it easier to steal back aggro if someone accidentally takes it from you. And that dot does so little to me that it's completly worthless, with sov and 400+ sd, my dps is 110, with imp sor with 400+ sd is 224 dps, that turns into threat, and it's only a single target specemin, I get over 400 dps/ turn into threat in multi tanking in instances without fail with sor/consecration/ holy sheild. Even against trash at the end I normally have 31k threat.

bullshit let's bump up your damage to something that's impossible with 400 spell damage:
avenger's shield = 3k damage
consecration = 250/tick
SoR = 250/second
Holy shield = 500/block/2 seconds
5700 threat with Avenger's shield
1425 TPS
that's 10 seconds into the fight for 20k threat... unless you're playing on a private server
I actually can use AvW in mid fight and generate even more threat
better to start off with it and let the DPS start with a nice threat limit from time 0.00
with sov and 400+ sd, my dps is 110, with imp sor with 400+ sd is 224 dps
seriously, are you playing on a private server? or just leaving your target with 1 stack of SoV?
SoV has 50 damage/sec and only 0.7% less spell damage effect than SoR... the numbers are clearly off..
Even against trash at the end I normally have 31k threat.
I generate more threat with trash than single targets...
unless you meant single target trash...
which would mean that you're tanking raids already...
