1.Races

  Reveal hidden contents

I think that everything is clear here.
-Alliance.
-Human. 
Dwarf is also good, but in my point of view their passive ability worse than human ones.

-Horde
-Blood Elf
I think that blood elf is better for retribution paladin than tauren.
I consider Arcane Torrent to be more useful than War Stomp

2. Talents:

  Reveal hidden contents

This is the most optimal talent build.

Green – talents that can be changed (depends on your teammate).

I will analyse those talents which can be used while playing arena. Talents that I have not analysed are not actual for retribution paladin or they are for other specs.

1st tier:
undefined
Long Arm of the law is the best сhoice in this tier. It gives us 3 second sprint with 2 second cooldown (Press judgement  get 3 sec sprint with 2 sec cooldown). It really helps you to kite enemies in pvp and arena.

2nd tier:
undefined
It replaces Hammer of Justice reduces cooldown (30 sec).
This talent is probably the best for retri among those that were added in MoP.
Cd 30 sec really sounds great. You can make excellent chain controls while playing with hunter or mage. It was very hard to play without this talent in Cata. All in all, it’s the best talent for 3s and it should be taken.

3rd tier:
Selfless Healer
One of the best talents for retri pala. You gain both stacks and sprint when using judgement so you are able to heal yourself and your teammates.

4th tier:
undefined
This talent should be taken if you face affliction warlock + any heal. This talent is not actual while playing versus moonkin + afli warlock. All in all, this talent is good only versus affliction warlocks.

undefined

The best talent for retri pala. It gives you 2 BoPs/freedoms/sacrifaces. I was very glad to play with such a talent when I was starting to play MoP.

5th tier:
Holy Avenger
Everything is clear here. It’s the best talent in this tier.

6th tier:
undefined
One of the powerful abilities of retri pala. It can both heal and damage.

Fear and repentance.
They can be taken while playing with any heal, but it’s better to think up something and to play with 30 sec HoJ. For example: Monk takes AoE stun and gives it to the target while you give your HoJ into focus, then monk chains it with 6 sec stupefaction. This combination is enough to make your enemies use some def cooldowns or it can lead to enemy’s death.

3. Glyphs:

  Reveal hidden contents

This is common glyphs build.


Charred Glyph-Glyph of divine shield.
Must be taken. Very useful glyph. You can save stacks of flash light or holy power and heal your teammate, not yourself.

undefined-Glyph of Templar’s verdict.
Should be taken, as it constantly gives you -10% of incoming damage. 
These are two glyphs that you shouldn’t change.

Glyph of burden of guilt, glyph of divine protection, glyph of double jeopardy are glyphs that you should change in different situations (depends on your arena enemies).
Charred Glyph
Charred Glyph
undefined

Minor glyphs:
There are no so profitable glyphs except glyph of the righteous retreat-Charred Glyph 

4. Stat priority:

  Reveal hidden contents

A constant question: what is better for retri pala? Crit, mastery or haste?
The right priority:
Strength->Haste->Crit -> Mastery

Orange socket–Inscribed Vermilion Onyx
Purple socket –Tense Imperial Amethyst
Red socket–Bold Primordial Ruby
Meta socket-Reverberating Primal Diamond

I don’t use pvp socket (I tested it and the damage was less than if I used meta socket).

Why I took-Inscribed Vermilion Onyx instead of-Fierce Vermilion Onyx if we know that haste is better. I tested it and got the following: you won’t get any profit if you use-Fierce Vermilion Onyx, you don’t even get reduced cooldowns.
Even if you use-Quick Sun's Radiance you won’t get any profit.
I consider this socket build to be the best. 
P.S. If you will turn everything in haste (items, sockets e.t.c.) you will lose mastery and won’t get any profit.

Professions:
I use tailoring and blacksmithing.
Tailoring gives me 4000 attack power. Blacksmithing gives me two sockets.
I guess everything is clear here.

6. Tricks:

  Reveal hidden contents

1) Using sacrifice you can prevent a lot of control abilities.
In 2s I often use this when it’s necessary:
Using sacriface we can not only save our teammates (remove control or just give them -30%) but also to avoid such control as sheep, supt, hex, blind, sleep, fear, scatter (not on pandawow), roar, repentance.
In most of cases it can lead to win. You shouldn’t use it without any purposes.
2) We have dispel which removes dk’s dots (if he doesn’t take glyph) and poisons. It’s very convienent to dispel paralytic and avoid stun that doesn’t diminish with kidney/cheap shot. Moreover dispel removes shadow priests’s plague and hunter’s sleep.
3) Master aura. It can be used while you are in solar or frostjaw + we get -20% incoming magic damage.
4) BoP. It removes necrotic, monk’s karma, stuns and fears. You can also remove dk’s execute by using BoP.
P.S. It’s so sad that it’s impossible to use BoP while you are in the warrior’s fear.
5) Freedom is very essential in arena. When mage is casting frostjaw on you or on your teammate, you can use freedom and it will allow you to move (this way you can prevent control).
6) Fear. You can fear dk’s pets, warlock’s pets and dk when he uses lichborne.
7) You can destroy grounds and mass reflects by using judgement or exorcism.
Very often my teammate asks me to destroy grounding totem or massreflect and it really helps to win an arena match.
8) If you don’t want you sacrifice/BoP/freedom to be dispelled or purged you can spam buffs.

7. Pvp and Arena setups:

  Reveal hidden contents

Most actual setups for retri in 2s are Ret/Hunt and Ret/Mage. If you want to play with heal it would be a good idea to play with druid or shaman.
Most actual setups for retri in 3s are PHS/P/RLS v.2 aka RetLS
I think that it would be more profitable to record some videos in 2s, 3s than writing much text here.
