Won't Paladins pretty much share the same stat priorities across all spec, on the items that do switch based spec?

Well Prot and Ret will likely still value Haste more than Holy does, but if you want to be MS Ret OS Prot all you're going to need is some trinkets and a sword 'n board and you'll be ready to go.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't. maybe it'll be up to the talent choices and playstyle. Want to truly know if they'll line up? For prot and ret, use SimulationCraft. Alas, Holy doesn't have a worthwhile module for it, but you can follow http://holybouch.com/ to see what Bouch has said about the stats.

The intent was to make it to where a class can use all the same gear, but to max out, one or two more stats might be slightly higher than the rest. thats what we can see right now on the beta.
Huntingbear noted prot is doing well with mastery atm, and with Holy Shield allowing us to block spells, I could see mastery becoming a very powerful stat if you chose to take it. While haste can help us reduce physical damage via more sotr and wog, mastery can also be used to mitigate spell damage without having to use divine protection. I'm not in the beta, so I don't know how either stat compares in terms of performance atm, just based on what other people have said. Although the protection does get +5% Haste from all sources, so it might just scale better because of that.
