Ret DPS is pretty horrible in TBC. If you have great gear, are very skilled and work absurdly hard, you can just exactly reach the level of the worst geared/skilled/half-assing people playing actual DPS classes. On top of this, a ret paladin brings almost nothing that a prot and a couple of holy paladins don't cover, both of which should be present in almost all raids. To make matters worse, ret is barely viable for alliance since your DPS drops by like 20% if you don't have Seal of Blood.
