Exorcism. Are you kidding me, Blizzard?

Season 2 Gladiator and almost Season 5 Gladiator here.

Almost Season 5 Gladiator?
I was one of those Retribution Paladin's who was doing great at the start of the expansion, my 3's team and I were ranked 13th in my battlegroup on our best week. Then, however, Resilience came in full force, as did nerfs. We slowly dropped, eventualy off the top of the page and into Gladiator non-existance, because while my damage was nerfed, to the ground, other classes remained virtualy untouched.

Retribution Paladins were in a sad state, while other DPS classes ruled with an iron fist over all arena aspects, we know who they were. Most of them ruled with a face roll, though.

Retribution Paladin's were no longer viable in any form of arenas when other classes did a combination of A) Outdamage us and B) Out utilize us. I can pick two classes who accomplished A and B at the same time.

Fast forward to 3.1, Season 5 is over, Retribution Paladins like myself are done crying for their class and ready to step back into the fray with a beacon of light(lol) called Exorcism.

But... before even 1 arena match, it is deemed far too overpowered and it is removed. Not removed, but something is done for the first time in WoW history. Not being able to be used on players. Basicaly, Blizzard took an already mediocare class, gave it a small buff to make it seemingly viable, then took it away with little to no experience.

With Judgement damage cut in half and Hammer of Justice nerfed, where will we be when any healer class can simply spam their 1.5 second heal and outheal our damage with ease? I've done many many arena matches, and I know this to be the case, since it was happening even before when Judgement was good.

Judgement nerfed badly
+
Exorcism useable on players
Net change of a bit more damage

Exorcism not used on players
Net change of alot less damage.

To me, it seems as though Blizzard is balancing Retribution Paladin's around the casual QQers in blues and no resilience who dont know how to trinket a stun.

TLDR
Why nerf a class who was already in a sad state of mediocrity?
