Why it works

This spends the 10 points in Holy because level 19 cannot reach the real Retribution payoff talents yet. Improved Holy Strike is your best direct burst gain, Divine Strength scales the weapon set, Improved Seals buffs Seal of Martyrdom pressure, and Unyielding Faith helps against fear/disorient control in battleground fights.

The gear is built around the twink rule: enough stamina to survive focus, then Strength/Agility/AP for kill pressure. Nature's Cull is the centerpiece: very high two-handed DPS, +26 Stamina, and +23 AP, so it beats the lower-DPS alternatives even before enchants. Discarded Circlet, Clacking Carapace Spaulders, Corpsefeeder's Shedding, Overgrown Cuffs, Amulet of Vengeance, and Desolate Band are the big world/source-unknown stamina pieces. The crafted Veteran mail pieces and Deviate Scale Belt add efficient Strength/Agility without giving up much health. Greater Insignia is mandatory PvP control removal; Transformative Cocoon is your emergency absorb/reset tool, but use it carefully because it stuns you first.

Pre-buff Blessing of Might, Horn of Lordaeron, Sacred Shield, and Seal of Martyrdom. Open with Hammer of Justice when you can force a kill, then commit Avenging Wrath if you have mana and are not about to need Divine Protection. Your damage buttons are Divine Storm first and Holy Strike next; weave white swings with the slow two-hander rather than chasing tiny casts. Blessing of Freedom is how you stay connected to hunters/mages or escape roots. At low health, Divine Protection or Lay on Hands buys the reset; if locked out of offense or kiting, Flash of Light can stabilize between swings.
