Speaking as a pally who sometimes specs ret, I really don't think you've gone far enough with these nerfs. You're really only scratching the surface here. Let me give you some constructive feedback that I feel would assist you to make more meaningful changes to the class that we can all appreciate in forums like this one.
1. Consecrate. Blizz, we have to talk. The idea of a spell that does damage ALL AROUND a paladin... I mean, WTF were you thinking? Suggested change: affects only critters.
2. Judgements. OK, so these are spells that make a great big hammer animation on some poor victim's head. Don't you think that's demoralizing ENOUGH? But noooo, it does damage too. Suggested change: keep the animation, lose the damage. Fixt.
3. Hammer of Wrath. What can I say. Do you think it's nice to kick a guy when he's down below 10% health? Not very 'servant of the Light', now, is it? Suggested change: transfers 10% of the paladin's health to the target.
4. Divine Storm. OK, we gotta call it on this one. Anything called 'Divine' needs a cooldown longer than Hugh Grant. Suggested change: useable once every 12 hours.
But in overall terms, GC, you're doing great. Lots and lots of happy customers love you. I'd send you a bunch of roses, but then you've already nerfed the thorns.
Best wishes, and bai bai.
