Paladin Sites

MorninStar tries to collect pally information in one place.  He seems particularly strong on retribution and protection pally information but this site isn't updated often.  However, the few postings seem pertinent and useful.

Another paladin site, specific for retribution paladins.

Lower Level Tanking Information

I'm not quite sure how tanking at a lower level differs from a higher level tank, but WOW Insider has done a long series about tools for tanking at a lower level.  Part one is dungeons, gear and stats.

Too Many Addons?

Matticus shares a tip he got about a macro that shows what interactive visual element is up on your screen.

The Solo MMO Player says if you don't know what addon is up, you have too many.  But if you are an addon addict, you'll use this.

Raid Communication Patched (Patch 3.3, Addons)

Patch 3.3 has brought changes to in-game raid communication. WOW Insider explains. Note the requests for an addon that copies a boss strategy into chat.  If you know of one, post in the comments section please.  I'm not a big fan of following a script for each boss battle but having a general idea of what will happen helps shape group strategy and keeps folks new to the battle from being totally lost the first time through.

Blizzard Balances Wintergrasp

WOW Insider links to Blizzard's statement on how they plan to fix Wintergrasp on realms where there are way more Alliance (or Horde) players than the opposing side.
