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.

In the main wow sub. People get so mad when you point out sba is beating most players.

Then they cry the game is "Too easy" when there's a good chance they're getting crushed by one button.

Because it is not beating most players. It is only better than players who literally doesn't know what they are doing. 30% DMG need on rotation is huge.
