paladin spec help

[Demon2k3]

My paladin currently got the following spec

48 chants 42 shield 39 slash 15 parry.
I like this spec but it isn't very RvR capable.
So i'm thinking of respeccing to this spec for RvR.

50 slash 42 shield 38 chants 10 parry.
Is this spec good or bad for RvR. can it be viable to use in an assist train, since i do not want to be an bg'er. Aswell as respeccing to this won't be to expensive, if i respecced to 2h i have to buy an full respec and that kind of money i don't have.

my pally is currently

50 shield
39 slash
46 chants
rest parry

That seems to work fine with me, but then i am mostly a block bot

I tried 2h no point unless you are high RR

Going from 39 slash to 50 slash, you'll increase your style damage, but not your base damage. So a small increase there. However, you're also losing all your red chants, so losing damage/AF/end/healing there (if you twist).

If you really want damage, 2 handed is the way to go. I'd go 50 2 handed, 3x weapon, 42 (or 44 if 1.83 goes in with Celerity as it is now) chants, rest parry. I mostly do PvE, and 2 handed is far faster killing against yellows/oranges than sword/shield, but can't handle the multiple reds like a s/s pally.

On the respec stone thing - sign up to the Dragon Raid, and if not picked, turn up anyway. Last three weeks (I think) we've been short one Paladin, and had to go looking for one.
