Sadly, ret paladins are probably the worst class in the game in vanilla, and well beyond even that. It's crazy how long it took for blizzard to balance them...they were so bad it wouldn't be implausable that the devs despised the class, as illogical as it seems.
But I feel the real problem here are the horde racials. Orcs and UD are just too good.
TBC is where ret pallies have fun and go crazy. I never understood why people would roll ret pally on vanilla as it is not even optimized yet. even then, I never understood how it is fun playing a spec that has to rely on white hits to do damage, with little mana to even cast judgements, and no actual yellow attacks(crusader strike in TBC for example).
this is just my personal opinion though.
