It is worth noting that it is almost always worth it to match socket bonuses as each secondary stat (Haste, Mastery, Critical Strike) is a considerable damage increase.

Ideally you will have access to Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup but if not consider the individual use foods recommended below to increase your Strength rating.

• Black Pepper Ribs and Shrimp
• Fluffy Silkfeather Omelet

As a Retribution Paladin we will use Flask of Winter's Bite.

Potion of Mogu Power is our default choice as a Retribution Paladin. If possible try to pair your Mogu Power potion with your Guardian of Ancient Kings as the percentage Strength increase will benefit from the added Strength from your potion.

Master Healing Potion is a quick burst of healing that may allow you to survive damage that would otherwise be deadly so its important to always be ready to use this as an impromptu defensive cool down.

While you will not have much time to cast them and any kind of damage taken will interrupt their healing, Heavy Windwool Bandage can be the difference between surviving or dying so it is a great Mana-free way to heal yourself in an emergency if you find yourself without the Mana or Holy Power needed to quickly heal yourself.
