I'm hoping someone could answer a few questions for me and give me some feedback as to whether this build would work in arena:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sZVG0GMhZVfrtrIuGdhosz:AMz0mc
My thoughts are that since my playstyle usually involves rushing in and taking a beating and getting off my burts while being able to sustain damage taken and heal somewhat effectively with art of war procs and bigger divine storm healing returns.(All while taking the extra armor from imp. dev. aura and SoC) I'm not horrible at pvp by any means, but I also am not really great since i can get pretty clumsy fumbling around on my keyboard in hectic situations. I usually dont pop wings all that often due to the fact that i usually have to bubble heal mid way through fights(mostly with casters/healers) or if i take some big bursts from melee classes to get a second wind. One of my questions is does the healing bonus from imp. dev. aura apply to yourself heals and or divine storm? I'm guessing not, but it would be pretty badass if it applies to both. Otherwise, would speccing into divine sacrifice be better(the idea being that i can absorb more damage while using sacred shield....as long as im not blowing a ton of cooldowns and mana) I also chose not to pick up fanaticism and RV mostly because even Good crits with judgement are lackluster since the nerf and RV breaks repentance and i dont really need it to expose rogues when they vanish as long as i use DS and consecrate in the right situation. I apologize for the winded sentences but im baked and its late as hell as i'm writing this. Thanks. Anxiously awaiting the next round of Ret nerfs(I mean class overhaul) blizzard is working on to keep us chinese finger cuffed and taking it in both ends from the trolls and Ghostcrawler.

First note, Lay on Hands is not usable in Arenas, so it may be slightly more advantageous to take the minor wise glyph.
Improved Blessing of Might is usually suboptimal since you'd rely on Blessing of Kings for that extra health, but that's personal preference.
Blessing of Kings is also preferable against classes that remove buffs due to the minor glyph's 50% mana cost reduction.
There's only a 30 second connected cooldown on wings and bubble so you should be abusing wings whenever you can, although I do agree that sanctified wrath probably could be spent better elsewhere.
Improved Devotion aura should increase healing from your abilities.
Divine Sacrifice is superior in some cases due to the fact that you can use it as another Hand of Sacrifice to get out of Crowd Control.
I would advise against dropping Fanaticism and RV, but since you've listed them as personal preference, I'll leave it at that.
Based on your comments, I would suggest something along the lines of:

thanks alot...1)although I'm not to sure what u mean by Divine sacrifice to get out of crowd control..doesn't that just transfer the damage your partner is taking onto yourself?..not sure if i'm understanding that right.
2) If i took kings over might..would there be a substantial loss in damage since I would be losing a chunk of AP? Not sure...just wondering.
3) hehe maybe i'll spec back into sanctified wrath over swift retribution from your spec...slightly quicker auto attacks and heals don't seem as worth it to me since it's pretty easy to disrupt us anyway while healing and I'm usually in range for attacks for a short time from being kited..which is why i try to focus more on landing CS and DS...maybe i'll force myself to pop wings more often and pray to stay alive long enough to bubble..just another thought.
4) toughness over righteous fury? 8% armor is better than 6% less damage.. yes?
5) Our minor glyphs suck imo..i just tossed loh in there for bg's none of them are really appealing...blizz needs to hook us up.
I appreciate the help...time to put it through the ringer..thanks alot!

btw my partner has a dk and a resto druid..in case that makes any difference..my pally is a human so everyman for himself saves my butt alot. I really hope the upcoming changes are for the better/a bit more interesting...although alot of the ideas I've seen posted make me want to shelf this toon if they ever went live.

Yes, and damage breaks crowd control such as polymorph or repentance.
2) If i took kings over might..would there be a substantial loss in damage since I would be losing a chunk of AP? Not sure...just wondering.
Chunk of health versus minor damage increase, in PvP, the health helps against burst damage.
4) toughness over righteous fury? 8% armor is better than 6% less damage.. yes?
RF can be dispelled and toughness grants you movement impairment reduction, personal preference.
