Stats ExplainedStrength

Critical Strike: Increases the chance to deal extra damage and healing done by virtually all abilities, including your own spells, auto attacks, trinkets, and many other effects. Gains value with talents like Heart of the Crusader and Wrathful Descent on AoE for Templar.

Haste: Compresses the rotation by reducing both the GCD and the cooldown of the rotational abilities like Crusader Strike, Judgment, Blade of Justice, and Hammer of Wrath. Important for damage, but can be overrated due to it feeling more impactful than it sometimes is.

Mastery: Mastery: Highlord's Judgment increases Holy damage done, which essentially buffs all of Retribution's natural damage. It also gives Judgment a chance to deal extra Holy damage when cast. Mastery affects all baseline spells and talents, but won't apply to racial abilities like Light's Judgment or other outside sources of Holy damage.

Versatility: Increases damage done and reduces damage taken by half the amount. Although it's not a very exciting stat compared to the others, it will often be more valuable than it initially appears thanks to its damage reduction component.

With the Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle ring enchant buff, Crit gains significantly more value for Retribution Paladins. Suggest using Flask of the Shattered Sun and Enchant Weapon - Jan'alai's Precision

Consider updating/fixing the Stat priority.
