"3.2 Ret nerf" is a farce.

Does anyone agree with me that there wasn't any form of 3.2 nerf thrown in the Ret pallys direction? Seal of Righteousness and Vengeance each have practical damage in PvP and PvE, my dps rotation is as interesting it has ever been, we got a NEW Sheath of Light effect with Sacred Shield, and Exorcism is now available on players. The rumors are not true I say.

Burst was nerfed, dps was buffed.

^ this. And that's fine. I used to LOL -- and I do mean literally laugh out loud -- anytime I was able to kill someone with a stun-lock. Then I did some PvP with a different character, and felt like breaking my keyboard in half with the full power of NERD RAGE the first time it happened to me.*
PvP should be a competition between players. If a player is defeated before they even have a chance to retaliate, it sort of defeats the purpose, IMO.
* I would like to note that I'm exaggerating; I've never "nerd raged" and I'd never do that to my 6-year-old keyboard.

Im not sure about the technical aspect of it but all I know is pre 3.2 I was pulling 2.3kdps with my ret pally with ease...after the patch i could barely manage 1.7-1.8k...i have since become much better geared and skilled and have no problem breaking 3k on a dummy, but im pretty sure we got nerfed in one way or another.
Stop using SoCommand and start using SoVengeance / Corruption, and look up a new talent spec. More than likely urdoinitworng.

I've never gone German kid on my keyboard, but I have thrown my hands in the air in a "WTF" manner. But last time I did that it was because I'd lost my eBay bid on a copy of Barbie's Pony Adventures.

I would have had to go buy a new mouse if that happened to me! It would have been in pieces next to a wall somewhere.

the only bad thing that happend to pallys in 3.2 was we lost seal of blood/mayter.
We traded SoB/M for useful versions of SoV/C, SoR, and soon, SoC.
I don't even really miss SoB/M much anymore, TBH.

DPS loss is likely to be as a result of needing a 3.2 Ret talent spec, i.e. points in SotP. I know that I've gone from DPS of 2.3k to about 2k in mixed heroic/crafted epics/hateful gear, and I'm guessing that it's largely to do with the fact that I haven't respec'd yet. I'll get around to it, I've been solo'ing as Prot mostly :P

I actually do, on a regular basis. I love mid-levels challenging me to duels while I'm leveling an alt, and then talk a bunch of trash when I don't accept, because clearly 20 levels is enough deficit that I won't win.
So I bring around one or two of my mains, and repeatedly challenge them to duels. The same person will then QQ about how I'm picking on a lowbie. /sigh

When I said that my spec was horrible, I meant it. Every talent in ret (yes, including deflection), plus Divine Strength. That's it. It was the uggliest spec I've had the misfortune of putting together since my first character. If you were hitting CS at the moment it came off CD, you'd have a DPS increase. Unless, of course, you were using Command instead of Vengeance/Corruption.
I disagree, though I don't have the logs or the theorycrafting evidence to support my argument. SoV represents a slight increase in DPS over SoB, which is great. But I believe that I'm getting lower up-time on my non-CS abilities - switching CS to a 4 second CD seems to result in less uptime on abilities generally, due to it sitting off GCD and throwing other things off. I could be wrong though.
