Is Consecration still a Paladin talent in WoW Forever?

Not in beta build 1.60.1.70205: Consecration is in none of the three Paladin trees (Classic Era build 1.15.9.70003 has it in Holy). Instead the beta client lists Consecration as a baseline Paladin ability from level 20 (the client's minimum spell level), and the talents Consecrated Ground and Holy Conduit improve it.

What does Light's Vigil do?

It is the Holy tree's 31-point talent in the beta and needs 1/1 Holy Shock. Tooltip: “Applies Light's Vigil to the target for 30 sec. Your next Holy Shock cast on them triggers no cooldown and causes enemy targets to suffer 182 Holy damage and refund 75% of Light's Vigil's Mana cost, or allied targets to heal their party for 324. You may only have one Light's Vigil active per party.”

Are Blessing of Kings and Blessing of Sanctuary still in the Protection tree?

No. Neither Blessing of Kings nor Blessing of Sanctuary is a talent in beta build 1.60.1.70205. Blessing of Kings is now a baseline Paladin ability from level 20, while Blessing of Sanctuary is gone from the client entirely. Protection's new 1-point defensive talent is Templar's Bulwark: “When activated, this ability grants you an absorb shield equal to 100% of your maximum health for 8 sec. Applies Forbearance for 1 min. Cannot be cast while Forbearance is active.”

WoW Forever Paladin Talent Calculator

Holy changes the most of the three Paladin trees: 8 of its talents are new, and it now ends in Light's Vigil, which needs Holy Shock maxed. Holy Shock, Classic's Holy capstone, sits on row 5, and Consecration is no longer a talent but a trained spell from level 20, which Consecrated Ground and Holy Conduit build on.

Protection keeps Holy Shield as its 31-point talent, but it now requires Templar's Bulwark, a new absorb shield unlocked at 20 points. Blessing of Kings and Blessing of Sanctuary are gone from the tree; Sacred Duty and Swift Judgement are new.

Retribution ends in Twist of Light, which turns a swapped-out Seal into a one-hit Echo. The old capstone, Repentance, is on row 5, Champion of the Light adds spell damage from Intellect, and Vengeance drops from 5 ranks to 3.
