Let me take a stab at this...
Short answer is no. There forever at the bottom of that 60 foot hole of no return.
I have played in a few Arena matches with a Holy Pally. Giving the current 31 point builds they can ether spec for better healing or Spec for a few Damage Abilities talents that make Spamming Exo. Fun and annoying to be against. (However I target them first because its annoying). For that factor along Holy Pallies get a #1 target on there backs from me.
Also its not a very good idea to pick a fight with a Rogue in pvp ever with the 5k tick that they get from Recup. (depending on Spec) there will still ether kill you or make there presents well known when your left at 20k health. Go for an easier target like a Shadow Priest.

I don't know if shockadins were ever a viable spec really.I used to play a hybrid mix on my pally,but it was strictly for soloing content.In a group situation shockadins were neither one thing or the other

There's a
new glyph
that
might
help holy paladins come a little closer to the potential of a shockadin in Mists. I haven't gotten onto beta in a while, so I'm not sure how effective it could be. Hopefully somebody can test it out, or I can try to get on in the next few days.
How it might work: offensive Holy Shock and beacon heals will build Holy Power, Denounce between HS cooldowns if you don't need the heal, then offensive WoG for extra damage.
Might not be enough to take someone down solo, but it at least adds some offensive support for burning someone down with a teammate (which is something pallies currently trail behind other healers at).

Doing around 26k burst DPS with CDs up, and 18.5k sustainable DPS on my 85 premade.
Glyphs: Holy Shock, Harsh Words, Word of Glory.
Talent: Holy Avenger
Seal: Insight
Word of Glory at 3 HP, Holy Shock on CD, Denounce for filler on an 85 dummy.
There's sadly not a single AE ability available until the 6th talent.

I'm interested in this since retribution/protection paladin is boring. Playing as a shockadin was fun. Have anyone tested this?

Yes. I know linking outside articles is taboo, but Wow Insider just did a cool article about Shockadins and leveling as one. Sometimes I swear that my holy pld can do more single target dmg than my ret with a little bit better gear.
When leveling as one for awhile, anything with multiple mobs is a nightmare. You really have no AoE at all until 90, and even then Holy Prism is only so often. Other than that, nada.
