Is Shockadin good in TBC?
It was good, really good. On a crit (which happened ~40% of the time) I’d take out 1/3 to 1/2 hp of someone. The only downside is that your best heal and your best damage share a cooldown.

Is Holy Paladin good in TBC PvP?
Holy Paladin is one of the strongest single-target healing classes in the game and their burst healing potential in PvP is unmatched. In addition to their strong healing output they offer some of the best spells in the game to mitigate damage and buff allies.
Is the shockadin spec still in the game?
Many feel that the Shockadin spec phased out with the Dawn of Wrath of the Lich King, but just like anything else, I can assure you, it never really died but changed and adapted to its environment.
What was the original purpose of the shockadin?
The Shockadin was originally designed as a burst-damage spec in PvP, frontloading several attacks in a very short period of time to catch an opponent off guard.

Can you play a shockadin as a Paladin?
While Shockadin is still a fun spec to play, they are a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. In PvP, a shockadin is unable to provide the same level of support and healing that a true Holy Paladin would and unable to provide the same amount of damage and control that a Retribution Paladin can.
Where can I find videos of shockadins in Wow?
