Really, your biggest con is survivability. Accidental extra adds don't scare you - in fact I tend to fear one of the mobs in a larger pull (if I can) just for the sheer chance of getting it to aggro another group. This is valid for both PvE and PvP - rogues love finishing off players low on health (so does everybody, but rogues have stealth...), and finishing off a paladin rarely works well - Seal of Light, Judgement of Light, Divine Shield if you must, or even Lay on Hands - and you are back at full health, while the rogue is still trying to kill you. They usually just Vanish and go mind their own business.
Being Protection will also grant you a lot of love in dungeons. Even now, when every tanking class has some AoE threat abilities, paladins are still kings in this department. Of course being a tank is self-explanatory - tanks are needed. Good tanks - very needed.
And last but not least, Protection paladins no longer need Spellpower as much as we used to, so gear won't be that much of a problem in the old world. Plus, RPing as protection as what RPing as paladin is all about...

Aye, the virtuous defender of the weak, sacrificing of himself, wrapped in the Light, that others may attend to their tasks (ganking horde, killing trash, standing in the fire)

Ret Pallys are great. However I'm afraid they are going to get nerfed in a few months, maybe sooner.
Respeccing takes a minute or two, and doesn't cost too much. However, I totally feel the same as you, I'd much rather run around as protection, taking on waves of opponents and leaving a fight with almost full health and mana.
But as ret I three-shot most mobs, and it just takes a bit longer to run around and quest as prot.
