Are Ret Pallys really that good? I've been leveling a havoc DH with my wife, who's playing a Ret Pally. All we do is quest and maybe run a dungeon every now and again, so its been super casual and laid back. 

So anyway, I've studied up a little bit on my rotation, talents, all that jazz, and like to think I have a pretty good, basic grasp on the class and how it plays (all 3 buttons, I know). 

Then there's my wife. Bless her heart. She has no idea what a rotation is. She uses her mouse for moving, turning, targeting and clicking her abilities. This is not a problem. Because were just questing and doing lfg dungeons every once in a while. But she still manages to melt faces. She out damages me in a lot of instances. And I cant, for the life of me, beat her in a duel. 

Are Ret paladins just better than DHs right now? Or am I just a lot worse than I thought? Were both level 55 right now if that's relevant.
