Retribution Paladin Rotation
This is a modified version of Xelpers ret pally rotation. Small tweaks have been added for raiding convenience. It pulls well over 20k (around 22-23k in FL and 25k in teir11 raids) dps at ilvl370. Cooldowns have been added into the rotation, GoAK, AW,Zeal all pop when combat starts and on cooldowns. Using them on cooldown is a DPS boost, you can prepot and pot during hero manually. Lay on Hands will cast when you are down to 15% hp, this doesn't happen often in raid but can be a lifesaver if healers go down. The spell order have been changed compared to Xelper and in real world and simucraft this version provided higher dps.

The Ret PVE Trash profile is the same as the one above minus the cooldowns. It is better to use this during the trash mobs about 5 minutes (the cooldown of GoAK) before a boss fight. It's useful to use the other during the starting trash since it'll get your dps on the chart.

There is also a rotation(Self-heal/Grind) that is made for grinding/questing. It uses Seal of Insight instead of Truth so it heals you all the time at the loss of some dps.

'''I added a testing rotation ('Aura Switching Test)' that does not require combat and uses Xelper's 'offensive spells' ability from his warrior profile and buba's aura abilities to auto cast auras depending if mounted. I added Shannox's Crystal Traps to the list of non-aggro mobs but there might be some that arn't there so I would advise using the PQRotation addon with debug mode to make sure it's casting the rotation. Again this is for TESTING. '''

Modifiers:  Notes: 
 * Press Left Ctrl : Switches between AOE (Divine Storm) and Single Target (Crusader Strike). No need to switch rotations. When changed it will display a message in chat window.
 *  Hold Left Shift : Will Pause rotation and stop auto-attack. Useful when raid leader calls out stop dps and you don't want to switch targets.
 *  Press Left Alt : Will cast Hammer of Justice (Stun) on Mouse Over. Useful for quick stuns (ie Sons of Flame during Rag fight)
 * Please set "Combat Required" to Rotation Designated
 * ("Aura Switching Test" Profile) When mounted it will cast Crusader Arua and when not Retribution Aura (Thank-you Bubba for this code in your Holy Pally rotation)
 * It is a DPS LOSS to use AOE for anything less then FOUR(4) mobs. At four or greater mobs near you SoR and DS will have higher dps then SoT/CS.
 * To maximize dps please refer to Elitist Jerks' The Retribution Concordance

 Suggestions: 
 *  If you have a suggestions please include them in this section and I will try and implement them. Please don't ask for a PvP rotation unless you can explain when and under which conditions to use which spells or have a link to a decent ret pally pvp guide. I don't PvP with my pally so I don't know what to code.
