Well I've been 70 for about a month now and enjoying it very much. Lately I've decided to take a break from PvP and started farming gold for my epic flying mount.
I've been doing my dailies regularly and currently in the process of completing the quests from Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley, as well as using my professions and the AH of course. Most of the time I'm soloing and I just want some feedback on my technique.
Instead of using my
Merciless Gladiator's Salvation, I use my old
Blade of Misfortune since i do more white damage and SoR does more dmg too. I am aware that by using the 2-hander i'm sacrificing my shield, which accounts for about 3.7k armor. Lately i've been pondering the idea of grabbing a
Merciless Gladiator's Slicer as it would allow me to retain my shield and do more dps (I think).
I know it means losing about +141 Spell Damage from Salvation, but the dps on Slicer is greater by 56.5 and is slower too, which means it would give higher SoR damage compared to Salvation?
As for dps rotation i judge Crusader, Holy Shock, SoR, Judge, repeat, with a few consecrations thrown in from time to time.
What do you guys think of grabbing a Slicer? It seems to be the best sword I can find without having to run an instance or raid. Or would it be a waste of marks and Honor?
And as for armor I think i'm good with the Merciless Gladiator's Redemption set.

as far as soloing goes as a holy pally i was fortunate enough to be in really good gruul's pug and the Hammer of the Naaru
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28800 dropped and nobody really needed it so i suggested it for my offset and i grabbed it. I didnt really wanna put too much cash into it so i only socketed it with blue gems that gives +AP, +hit rating and +crit strike because crit strikes with 2handers are insanely massive in dmg.
I also picked up the
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34615 otherwise known as the Netherforce Chestplate from kael in heroic magisters. For my shoulders i have the Warchief's Mantle from a quest reward in CoT that is quite simple to obtain....
overall I do some pretty good DPS and i have another set of skills i use when im soloing compared to when im healing and it does me good for dailys on the isle and in outlands as well....just remember when you socket your "Ret" gear use alot of +hit rating because its very annoying when your 2handed 3.5 second attack speed misses 3 times in a row =X and also use some +AP and +crit strike for extra dmg and easier crits....a very nice enchant and not too expensive one for a good 2hander is savagery(+70 AP)
