each blue quality gem brings up your stam by 3, and cost 40G more
i can understand if you can't afford that
but look into
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34330
, it costs 10G and provides 10 extra stam, since tou don't have revered for head enchant and you're severely lacking in stam, i'd suggest investing for all the slots they can be applied to.

......a way to dodge cc (blessing of sacrifice).....
Yet another very cool idea I never thought of. And yet another thing to watch for and try to pay attention to as an arena healer... LOL! I like this trick tho. Great for poly spammers, but probably hard to pull off on the fly. I'ma have to try this one out. =)

lol, if you wanted to heal you woulda been a preist............
paladins are amazing healers, in arena and out. the only downside they have is no instant cast heals
Granted, it's situational and requires cooldowns, but:
Oshu'gun Relic
Essence of the Martyr
Divine Favor
Holy Shock
With a decent amount of +Heal, Holy Shock can skate the edge between a wipe and having time to get another Flash of Light off.
Now what Paladins really lack is a HoT.

yeah holy shock is alright, but think about it: holy shock is instant, but triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown
By any chance did anyone play around with the spell haste changes on PTR and see how low you can get the GCD? I'm guessing you could shave a second off of it if you capped your spell haste - and that might be a huge change to the Shockadin build, and make it more useful in heals.
Or was I reading the spell haste changes wrong?

you want 480 def for heroic trash and 485 for heroic bosses
continuum blade is only better if you are uncrushable
since block gets pushed off the attack table, the CFS block rating does nothing
in comparison to to CB, you have spell hit on CB, which
slightly
helps, like the first tick on consecrate, etc
not too much of a difference though

Cool, so just one of those trinkets I mentioned with +32 def and you'll be uncrittable! gratz! I would recomend you get a stam patch for ur legs and try to find any top end stam sockets you can find to replace your not so great stones. If you pick up the items I mentioned that aren't in heroic, you can improve your stam and armor count. You are on your way tho! gratz! =)

First: To anyone who said retri pallies wont top the damage meter, you are wrong
I ve had to say that far far too many times its really annoying me now - Retri pallies ARE good DPS AND they provide a bonus to everyone else's DPS (I topped the damage meter in TK tonight myself by 1%)
They are also good in pvp if you get the main 2 talents Eye for an Eye and Divine Purpose which is loads of damage to casters and sort of 200 resilience to melee and ranged in terms of the damage you take.
And if you can do 10k damage instantly, you cant say its crap. And when you do 20k in a raid instantly the same thing goes there.
As for other specs, ive not been prot in raids. As holy i easily outhealed a lot of people (strangely enough most of them seemed to use healbot which i think is a big load of %&$£ and if you need it to be a good healer then you are exactly the opposite of that, a completely balls healer)
And as a holy paladin its fairly easy to get a viable spec for pvp in the same spec as you use for raiding (Improved righteous fury for one thing reduces the damage you take by 6%)
Have to say though, its a bit pants solo unless you fight demons (gogo exorcism)
Prot im no expert on, so i wont waste your time with stuff thats probably wrong

Something I've always wondered, don't take this the wrong way, but how can you consider it instant if swing timers are 3.6 seconds anyways?

resocket your shoulders and pants, at least with 9 stam if you can't afford 12 stam
for yellow, use the def/stam gems instead of int, for red use the spell damage stam (for green quality gems)
get flesh beast's metal greaves (unless you vendored them) and the trinkets from Slabs (the one you're working for) and SH (colossus)
enchant your cloak +dodge
