Chasing the Table

Going from racing up the threat meter, with an almost unlimited supply of mana from spritual atonement from being healed. The Ret paladin feels like it depends on a few factors of talent points in the right place, and a mana pot or two with Seal of Wisdom on a target (for long fights)
For the first time i installed a DPS meter, mainly to gauge where i come in the raid group when it comes to dishing out the white and yellow. And where i fit in with this new role within a raid. Turns out im not too bad fighting for 3rd and 4th place over-all. And in blues (Body Armour) thats not bad at all, however my RL partner has a firemage decked in Purples and tailored spell strike gear, and this will be the true gauge of where i am. This will be tonight, along with the rest of the guilds main DPS'ers. The core of TDD's Purple parade.
For the meantime i am getting used to the Ret style of play. My problem is getting into the fight quick enough with the rogue who seems to be getting a head start on DPS when the fight starts, handy to have stealth, but i seem to be keeping up with Xadel and Momochi being under 10k over-all of their damage. We've had a problem with KTM, and my biggest fear is pulling aggro from hitting too hard, too soon, and most of this week we have had to play things by feel where we are in relation to threat.
We have Curator, Shade and Chess tonight, so let's see where this Ex Protection paladin fits in to a 10 man.
