Prot pally defense redoubt

I play pally mainly so i can run low dungeons, help lowbies, or cloth runs.

Cant decide if i should take redoubt, being a talent that triggers only if you are crited, what are the chances you get crited if you are 20+ lvl higher than the mobs in a dungeon?
On the same note, if you pick redoubt, should you not pick the +10 defense talent, to have more chances to be crited??

The Prot Pal Paradox…

Aren’t you going to want to get Shield Specialization regardless of the value gained from Redoubt?

Yeah, I don’t think you get as much value from Defense as you do from Armor anyway…

I see so shield spec is a must then no choice for redoubt.
And i must favor armor over defense.
Thx for the guidelines

IIRC, you get a lot more consistent value from Armor over Defense…

I think this is roughly the talent build that I went for on my pally for WoW Classic, which was great as a raid healing spec, that also allowed me to solo farm lashers in DM:East, and tank Scholo and Stratholme quite effectively:

Prot tree is perfect, but i think id drop some of the holy talents to have more parry in ret tree, maybe even get imp ret aura?

go into the holy tree to get spiritual focus - 70% less spell pushback, that with concentration aura you don’t loose cast time if your HP gets low, imo its a live saver
