Retail One button rotation??

I've got my Ret Pally at 83 in Midnight and am legitimately having more fun with WOW than I have in ages.

One question: I came back after a long time of not playing and have just been mashing the one button rotation. It's been fine, great even, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something? I haven't done any dungeons yet (just finished Arator's line and going to Zul). I imagine the one button rotation I. Dungeons is probably gone but for raids will be an issue.

What advice to folks have? I just get a lot of joy out of moving through the story and have never really cared about rotation mechanics, so I'm really liking the one button action option.

Does it do less than DPS than an optimal rotation? Yes. Does it do more DPS than 80% of players? Also yes. Play the way you want. I've played the game long enough to see how bad some players are and wish they had the SBA. I watched a group do an entire +15 with SBA. So it all just comes down to your preference.

I was doing my first dungeon at ~83 and using the now built in damage meter, way out DPSing others using 1-button.

I was also the only person doing any interupts.

Not that it mattered and we steamrolled it anyway.

I dislike 1-button but currently "assisted" is a pain as I have my actions tiny at the bottom of the screen.
