Paladin changes, specs, and races
Undead can be paladins. Holy, Protection, and Retribution stay, and the notes say Judgment no longer eats the seal.
Seals, Holy Strike, and the Forsaken
The paladin deep dive is dated in the research as 15 October. Outpost's paladin page, updated around launch, puts Holy Strike at 6 points, says Judgment does not consume the active seal, and lists Salvation, Mass Salvation, Revoke, and Blessing of Light as removed. A 2 November beta note repeats the removal. Retribution players asking for macros should look at the talent calculator links on the talents page; I am not shipping a macro pack.
Undead paladin is the Horde pairing that did not exist in 2004. Humans and dwarves remain on the Alliance side. Blood elf paladins are a later-expansion idea and are not part of this matrix. If you want a healer, Holy is still the tree. Protection is the tank. I have no Forever-specific threat constant to publish. The broad roles are healer (Holy), tank (Protection), and melee damage (Retribution). The deep dive presents Paladins as strong single-target healers and potentially effective tanks, but also notes that they lack an interrupt and a movement slow. The November 2 beta changes removed Salvation and Mass Salvation, removed Blessing of Light, and made Righteous Fury trainable at level 10 with a 33-percent threat increase plus an additional Holy-damage modifier. These are dated class changes, not a performance ranking.

Questions
Where are ret macros?
I link calculators on the talents page. I do not distribute macro text.
Can a Forsaken use a resurrection?
The class is allowed by the matrix. The exact spell list is the deep dive, not a guess from later expansions.
