Ok, so it looks like there was another beta patch last night, two days earlier than normal. And in it, they skinnied down the Protection tree. It's actually possible to spend 51 points in Protection and not feel gimped.
I could list all the changes, but I need another coffee before work, so I'll leave it instead to Lore over at Tankspot.com.
One change he hasn't mentioned though is that Combat Expertise now increases our crit chance by 6%. This plus the unbloating of the tree means we can pick up Heart of the Crusader and Conviction in the Retribution tree more easily. I'm going to have to explore what this means but on the face of it:
1. Having a base crit chance of around 19% will really help our single-target threat.
2. Our off-DPS in Ret gear shouldn't totally suck balls.
It's an interesting change that I'm going to experiment with.

The current state of the prot tree is such that you can go 5/51/5 (foregoing Kings) and pick up all core talents, which leaves 10 points at 80 to do pretty much whatever you want.
Take the utility of Divine Guardian or King, or the mana reducton from the improved Benediction, take Imp Judgement and Heart of the Crusader, or even some PvP talents.
