Not so Divine anymore

An interesting Blue post popped up today, regarding Divine Storm as the 51 Ret talent:

The current plan is for Crusader Strike to be baseline, but for Ret to have talents that add to it, and for Divine Storm to be the 51-point talent.

I am also surprised at the notion that some of you only AE on trash. :)

What their [Blizzard's] intention with this ability is somewhat unknown right now. If Divine Storm is only to used for AE purposes, does that mean we'll never see it used for PvE boss encounters or in a 1v1 in PvP? Of course, this could be part of their elaborate scheme to "Make Retribution harder to play" by having an ability X place a debuff which increases Divine Storm damage on that target by Y amount. Who knows at this point in time.
