You would benefit from changing some of your gems, as you are meeting socket bonuses that are not very beneficial for you. The +40 hit gem in your chest should be +40 strength, as well as your str/hit gem in legs should be changed, as the socket bonus is far from worth it.
Your shoulder socket is debatable, because meeting a 10str bonus with a 20str/20hit slot is in the majority of cases not worth it, same thing in your belt.
You could also get a better reforge solution by using this website: http://wowreforge.com
It's a super awesome site, that will optimize your reforging for you, after loading your character in from the armory. It has become very fast and smooth now after some updates, I highly recommend it to every retpaladin that wants the most out of their gear. The default settings for statweights are also fairly accurate (as to what a 359 geared characters weights would be). It might value mastery a bit too high if you are using a blue weapon (because crit becomes better relatively with low weapon damage), but its easy to input your own values if you have simmed your personal weights from simcraft or a spreadsheet.
As for your spec, you should consider 2/2 eye for an eye instead of Acts of sacrifice if you are looking to optimize dps. It can make up anywhere from 0.2 up to 2% of your total damage on a given fight, so definately worth the points. However I can see the snare removal is handy if you are using your retspec for other things than raiding, however in that case 1 point there would be sufficient.
Also an enchant and socket your new bracers (grats!) but I can see you just got them today, so I'm not gonna call slack on that
If you can stand doing a few arena games a week, you can pick up a 359 pvp weapon which would be a good upgrade over your current weapon, especially with a landslide.
Otherwise looks alright, but can't give more than 5/10.
Kudos to finally getting a Heroic Ashkandi, Shoes! Now to set even more records. :P

Okay cool dude
Thanks man, only took 17 kills to see our first one drop (19 if you count alt kills as well!). RNG can be really disgusting at times.
But man this weapon is filthy. My damage jumped through the roof after getting it and reforging off a lot of my excessive expertise. I went directly over and clocked straight in at #1 on hc Double Dragons with an almost 600 lead over #2. And I even messed up and accidentally got ported inside for a good 10 seconds in the last part of the fight. Ooops. But damn I used to pull 2-3k less than that with Akirus, pretty unreal.
Just need that pretty little necklace of yours now and I'm full BiS. Did you manage to get it before your tanks, or have you just had loads of them drop? I doubt I'll get prio on that over our main tanks, but one can always dream!
Yeah, we've had a few drop. Our first kill she dropped 2 of them, both of which went to the 2 tanks present there. Second kill we had our DK tank in there, and he got the one that dropped that kill. It was on the 3rd kill another dropped, and at that point all the tanks had one, so I was able to get it next. All I need are the bracers then I am BiS too!

Looks good to me. Just have to get that RNG and hope for some bracers I guess lol. Also maybe pick up a LtS to replace your FoA, and then reforge out of hit into mastery.

well i dont need the hit so i think its a waste to get LTS isntead of Crit + a nice STR to go togetter with Zealotery wings
+ for bracers These are better then the onces from Omnitron Hope to get them HC ofc then its better but for now it gives 2 more str but alot of Haste soi Pref the pure mastery
Krausis, I would aim towards the 4 piece Replacing the chest and goggles. Grab the better leg enchants

RNG. That's all there is to it. For Simcraft, you could be doing it wrong. Haste is not that good.
I should also note that Eye for an Eye is really good against certain fights, like Chimaeron. Extremely good on that fight.
I'll log out in my pve gear/spec. I got the expertise ring from V&T but can't fit it anywhere without it being a loss. Hopefully we'll down Ascendant Council and the cloak drops.

Can't really judge your gear since you are in pvp gear

Ret is my offspec but here is mine. Let me know if anyone finds an issue. Armory is in my signature.

Lets try this again, armory should be in the signature.
Looks like you are pretty beast. Enchants/gems look in order and i think we are running the same exact spec. Is the point in acts of sacrifice helpful in some raid encounters?
Here is my off-spec set. Missing some enchants due to the recent influx of gear.
Is there a magic number for haste? I know it does not help us much but i still seem to notice a lot of dead time in my rotation, even coming off my two filler strikes i find myself waiting for my next CS. Mostly when i am void of any procs for 4+ GCDs.

You should be using 2 fillers.
The ultimate goal of haste is to lower crusader strike to a 3 sec cd so we could use a 1 filler rotation. That amount of haste is unavailable this tier.
As for your armory, your reforging could be done way differently, use a site like wowreforge to help sort it out a bit.
Glyph of Divine Protection is really nice, definitely more useful then loh. You also look like a boss
9/10 for what gear you have available to you.
My armory is in my link.
We have a free talent point to use instead of taking 2/2 for what appears to be an insignificant dps increase in eye for an eye I preferred to grab AoS for the ability to remove snare/root to go along with HoF and human racial. In pve it's not particularly useful but nice in pvp.
That is a great idea. It is my OS as I tank 97% of the time. I took the 2pc from legs and gloves because I was fortunate to get the legs off Argoloth and the chest came the same day from Atramedes. I don't expect to get 4pc ret anytime soon so I think I will go ahead and do that. Thanks for the tip!
Do you find that the 2/7/32 spec that you use is a greater dps increase than taking BL and JoTP? I have seen it used and have been tempted to try it but have lacked the time to test it.
Also, I see that you use LtS. Do you prefer that over CW or DMC: H? Great gear setup btw.
