Out of curiosity, when you two-heal Festergut, is there a specific class combo you use? Or does it generally work with 2 healers of any class floating around your raids? We've had bad news with 2 healers, but I keep telling them it's because they need some CoH love. :) We don't have a paladin at the moment that stably shows to raids; on the contrary, I'm pretty much ironclad stuck in a Discipline healing role. Holy is incredible amounts of fun. I wish I could dabble with it more frequently in ICC. Thanks for the comment!

I'm admittedly not the best at shadow PvP; there's something about the mage-like burst mechanic of smite that appeals to me. Although I've had shadow priests show me a thing or two before. :) It’s fun!

I am thinking of trying it out. I am currently in shadow and able to solo any class other than a good ret pally… and i dueled a smite priest the other day that came damn close to beating me.

However, we've just recently killed Dreamwalker and I think holy would definitely be better. We had a shaman 100% focused on healing the boss, and a paladin raid healing (when he wasn't in a portal) while beaconing the boss. That left me to do about 80% of the overall raid/tank healing, which was horrible as disc. It was the first time... well, ever, that I've had mana issues. Even with the paladin out helping, I couldn't spare the time to do a full hymn of hope, and unless I got lucky my shadowfiend would usually miss about a third of his attacks due to running around to find new things to attack. Not to mention having to *gaps* do actual healing instead of just absorbing and cleaning up messes :) I've always been 100% disc, but now I'm dropping my rarely-used arena spec for a holy spec.

Might want to change something here since the first formula and then the math later on in the post contradict each other. Also, math proves that a MIXTURE of Blessed Resilience and Empowered Healing is the best. 3/3 Emp Heal and 3/3 Bless Res will maximize throughput since Blessed Resilience affects all of the other heals you use as a Holy Priest. As Holy, our strength is raid healing, so increases Prayer of Mending, Prayer of Healing, Circle of Healing, Renew, and Divine Hymn, by an extra 100 healing per tick/target adds up extremely fast. Much more than what you would get from the extra healing from GHeal, unless you really do nothing but stand there and spam GHeal...

I'm a holy priest, just got a new spec from my guild leader, and alot of help on socketing and stuff. (: I'm healing alot better. I made another priest and tried your smite spec, it's AMAZING. <3 I really miss disc healing though, i was rockin' in battlegrounds. Lawl, i liked “Sorry, I was AFK looking at penguin porn.”
