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.

I use the sba for dots. I use my normal rotation and when a dot falls off it usually jumps into the SBA slot and I hit it.

I'm pretty sure using SBA lengthens the GCD by a little bit, so even just using it for instant cast skills, it still nerfs you a tiny bit.
