Really I solo 60 and 70 Raids with my Ret Spec. Just the standard dps spec nothing special and I do just fine. Some fights are more tricky then others but for the most part ret in a good choice.
I would say prot too.
I think you should mix your gear. 2 plate armors with int and 2 dps rings 2 dps item couse you must do some damage and you must have some greater heals.
Don't mix armor its not worth it... I know rets get a Sp buff from strenght. Its like 50% of your total ap is converted to sp. Pretty sure Prot has something close to that also. Honestly if your getting hit hard enought as Prot to not be able to heal threw it with your selfheals you problemly don't want to solo that boss.
Rets do good for Single mob fights and trash pulls. But if the boss has adds that spawn you problemly going to want to go Prot for anything 70+.

Ive done a lot of soloing of old content with my ret pally also (ilvl 489). I now solo on a regular basis:
-Molten Core
-Blackwing Lair
-AQ (Both)
-Black Temple
-Tempest Keep
-Kara
-Nax
-Ony
-OS (With 3 drakes up)
I think thats it. If you want to check my build, i am Eeyore on US Hyjal

EoE 10man is easy to solo....i can normally burst him down to about 25-30% before he takes off for 3rd phase. And then its just a matter of making sure you use the shield and heal when you need to.
And EoE 25m is easily 2 manned.

Awesome, never tried EoE so I'll have to try that. What about RS? I have never even entered the raid. How easy would it be? (Or how hard?)

I think RS would still be impossible due to the mechanics of the Halion fight.

It's not impossible to solo Halion, I did it with my ret pala about a month ago.
I never did the fight before so I don't really know the mechanics for it, but it seems doable if you've got decent gear(495 is what I had at that time).
Then I just bursted when he was healing and slowly brought him down. (I think he starts taking more and more dmg aswell, but other will know more than me about that.)
Other raids I did using ret spec that aren't mentioned here:
Sunwell Plateau: skipped first boss but killed the others.
VoA: Only frost boss could give some problems, but he's easy aswell now I've got better gear (clear the stacking dot debuff with shield if it starts to do a lot of dmg)
I cleared every 60/70 raid solo, so I'm not going to name them one by one, I'd probably forget half anyway.
I didn't try other 80 raids or cata ones, maybe they're easier as prot aswell, but I prefer to solo everything using my ret spec and so far I could solo every raid that dropped good transmogs for me so I don't plan on going prot for soloing. :p

that's interesting, it might be that they've adjusted the mechanics for Soloing Halion.
It used to be that at some stage in the fight, part of the raid would enter a portal and damage Halion and the other part stays "outside" and keeps attacking Halion.The difficulty was that you needed a balanced raid group as a big difference in DPS in between the Portal zone and Outside resulted in more healing for Halion.
Being solo, it would seem you only get a baseline amount of healing on Halion which can obviously be outdpsed, thanks for letting me know and I'll be dropping by in RS soon to see how it goes

This is pretty accurate, as a ret pally you should be able to do most of the old content as a solo. I got the achievements doing the raids and dungeons by myself not as a raider when the content was new...

Kill him before he casts it :p
That or kill him after he casts it but before it kills you, if your lucky you will have time to get naked after killing him & avoid dura damage.

Im at 514 ilvl and its pretty easy to burn him before getting the debuff. My last 3 runs I havent died.
Also to add to my list above
-EoE
-Sunwell
-Gruuls Lair
Havent tried the other BC ones but i'm assuming they wouldnt be too rough.

I can solo all 60/70 raids and some level 80 raids as a holy pally, just need to rotate inbetween damaging spells and heals

Granted i'm not 90 yet.... how do we get around the BA buff/debuff in the Vael fight?
You need to do a minimum of about 52,000 DPS for a successful kill. Don't worry about dying from BA because you don't lose any durability on your gear.
Ony 10 and 25 are very doable.
10 is cake. Just drop cooldowns 10% before she takes off and it's over.
25 she will be in the air a while. Nothin' to do about that I don't think you'll burn that much HP before she takes off. (So slower, but easy.)
Prot makes this very easy. Just pull all the whelps you can handle and smash her face with the infinite Grand Crusader procs.
