The mail healing gloves from the third boss in steamvaults is a very good pair until you can heal kara and heroics. and its not hard to obtain, plus there are plenty of items from steamvaults you should want as a holy paly so run it a lot.
Those gloves are damage and healing and only meh at best. Honestly I'd rather have the cloth gloves off the first boss in Botanica more so than those.

I was just wondering how much crit you'd say was "enough".
For Kara, you should be sitting at 19-20% holy crit

I've never personally been in a situation where I've relied on mp5, I've always managed not to oom in any pre-kara situation and I've healed most heroics in average 70 blues.
I'd reckon it's nearly worth taking crit gear over mp5. The pvp gear is a good example. I'd always advise that holydins get the pvp set gloves, just for the 2% crit on FoL. They don't cost much honor and are miles better than anything pre-kara.
I'm sure there are occasions when mp5 will be much more useful, I'm probably just yet to encounter them.
The problem with stacking crit (post-illunation nerf) is that once your mana is gone, its extremely hard to get it back. For short fights, crit is better (hence why crit is better in PvP), but the longer a fight goes, the more mp5 becomes a balanced stat with crit. I would go AFTER crit first, get the amount you need first, then start stacking healing and mp5 after that, with no ceiling on healing or mp5.
