Fair point, but it still doesn't take into consideration the many other changes to Paladins. Those changes might seem like a nerf if you just look at what the ability does now, but you have to look at everything else Paladins can do in Mists. Yes, it would be bad to have Judgment not stacking Censure and being able to be Silenced in Cataclysm. Thankfully, this is for Mists of Pandaria: a lot more than Judgment is getting changed, and those changes all fit together to make a more streamlined, more agile spec that builds up and spends resources faster than it does on Live. Yes, Censure won't be stacking quite as fast now, but you'll also be delivering much more damage without having to rely on it. Yes, you may be silenced out of Judgment for literally a couple seconds on occasion. If you look at the entire Paladin toolbox in Mists of Pandaria, it really is not that big a deal for people to get so worked up over.
Thankfully, that's not likely to happen again. The specs are being made much more distinct in terms of abilities and mechanics they use to avoid having to break one spec to save another. If Retribution's self-healing turns out to be too weak/strong, it can be buffed/nerfed for Retribution only without breaking Protection's self-healing or affecting Holy's overall healing.
I just checked my post history. Turns out, I really need pick up the pace if I want to boost my post count! What with me not posting very often and sometimes taking the time to write long, mostly structured posts about various subjects. Guess I need to do more one-liners?
Actually, I don't mind being ignored by some people. I like good, reasonable arguments and I know I won't get that with posters who feel that strongly about any subject. Those people are also likely to insult my intelligence and provide ad hominem attacks. So... yeah.
