Now, this isn't worthy of a ban from the game, but it seems like every time someone finds an interesting way to do something, it gets "fixed." In this case, Protection Paladins stacking stamina will have lots of spellpower and be able to heal heal heal heal...sometimes better than a Holy Pally. So the Crab of Death comes in and says "this is wrong, we'll fix it."

Now the easy solution to this would be to switch the term "strength" for "attack power" which is what the Retribution talent does anyway. Watch for Blizzard to make things worse, though.
