This is a huge nerf to the survivability of ret and our ability to play as defensive hybrids, since we have none of the tools that other melee classes rely on.
Please tell me you have something in store for us to make up for this. Our arena representation is already pathetic, and this is a HUGE nerf to an ability that enabled us to at least play how we are "designed", as defensive hybrids.
Edit - change description:
Q u o t e:
# Sacred Shield: The damage absorption effect from this ability now triggers only once every 30 seconds.
# Talents
* Holy
o Infusion of Light: This talent now also reduces the cooldown on the effect of Sacred Shield by 12/24 seconds.
Q u o t e: Prot and Ret do not need such a powerful defensive mechanism in pvp. That's why.
Why? Retribution's entire purpose in PvP right now is built around spells like this. The spec is far from dominant, and definitely not in need of any nerfs at the moment.
I think you deserve a little credit. No one's ever dodged that shot of mine.. But nobody gets lucky twice, either!

Whether it's dominant or not is beside the point. Buff Ret in other ways.
