I mean, if you’re spamming your biggest heals and still end up with a bar full of mana, then you’d probably enjoy swapping out some spirit for intellect. But the only circumstances I could see that happening in are if your whole teams greatly outgears the content, or if you’re being way too conservative in your healing.

I find I have a lot of excess mana on movement fights – our instant casts are cheap and moving allows for a lot of regen – but I still need high regen for most other fights and I’m definitely not going to swap gems several times a raid!

If the guild I’m with now doesn’t work out, I might join you on the list of PvP Holy Paladins. I haven’t PvPed much since BC, but with my erratic schedule and my lack of enthusiasm for 10m or casual raiding, it seems to be the option that makes the most sense.

We’re not quite the AoE spammers we were in DS anymore, except maybe in LFR. Radiance is expensive and LoD is situational (or personal – a couple of months ago I raided with a Holy Paladin who used nothing but LoD as his Holy Power sink – I generally prefer Eternal Flame), but yeah, I’m still trying to think of PvP as something I’d potentially like to get into.

What I have been doing is pvp! For someone whose heart almost gave out every time I got involved in any sort of player v player action, I never imagined I would ever do RBGs, but I have found healing in pvp so much more interesting than in pve content now.

I think Radiance and LoD really killed the enjoyment of healing for me in raids. Seriously, if I wanted to be an aoe spammer I would have chosen to be a Druid or a Priest, not a Paladin.

But yes, I miss looking through lists like this and figuring out where I’m going to upgrade gear, and which of my fellow healers I’m going to be in competition with for the loot I want. Such is life OQ.

Now, if they’d only create a glyph where Judgment gave us a point of HP as opposed to Crusader Strike. I’d play with that for a while… especially in regards to Selfless Healer.
