Opinions? You have too much Mp5.

You should focus more on +Heal and try to get your SpellCrit up a bit, too. But mostly +Heal. You need at least 1000 to be decent in Kara/Heroics and it seems you're still a ways from that.

Granted, upgrading your weapon will give +100 or so right there. Try to replace your greens first.

What I did is hit the BG's and Arena to get the bracers and shoulders first since there wasn't any good blue quest reward for those slots.

As a side note, why do you skip socket bonuses that give more +Heal and +Int??

Well from Experience I found that NEVER running out of MANA is best. While i DO heal less I can heal for long periods of time. I've instanced in SV, Sethekk and Shattered Halls and while that does not qualify me as an "expert" I can say that the MP\5 has made a HUGE difference... I've tested less MP\5 But found myself wondering why i wasn't effective... I am a good healer and my build is about longevity NOT HIGH heals but CONSTANT heals... it has been ages since ive typed the phrase "OOM".... So i figured I'd run with it and see how high my MP\5 could go...

you call that too much mp5

normal gear
185mp5 unbuffed +1500 healing 15%crit holy light

crit gear
56mp5 +1300 healing 35%crit holy light
want to push this to 40% 35% still feels unreliable

i'm almost always a tank healer which means big nasty heals needed
your gonna need a reliable 3 to 4k heal to do this
some mobs hit really hard in kara and heroics
the more crits you get off the more you can downrank
with normal gear i spam rank 7 HL 2.8k-4.4k
with crit i can use rank 6 HL 2.2k-4k and outheal the above

i've found flash of light to be useless for keeping a tank up
unless i have help 1.4-2.2k is what mine hits for.
the only plus is i can spam these forever even when oom

Balance. Spell crit, +healing, mp5. Spell crit is still king though, even after the illumination nerf, here is a great thread explaining why. You definitely need to get 1) your +heal over 1,000 and 2) your spell crit over 15% (before you factor in Holy power), if you lose MP5 in the process so be it.
This thread
has some good (but somewhat unattainable) pre-raid gear for Holy Paladins.

-Your helm is the best you can get pre-kara, get the Honor Hold +healing inscription.

-Get the 1h healing mace out of either Mech (Mechano Lord) or Shattered Halls (Last Boss), that or farm exalted with Shatar and grab the epic healing mace.

Other than that it is random cloth, leather drops in all the lvl 70 instances. MP5 should definitely be at the bottom of your priority list though since it +spell crit is much more of a factor to longevity in healing and you can always fill MP5 by using Superior Mana Oil and Mighty Flask of Restoration.
