Hmm.. a little help?Follow
Hey... Recently i've gotten a bunch of new gear, which pshed my healign right up, but the problem is it left my crit way below par. My mp5 isn't spectacular, so iw as wondering if anyone had any advice as to how i ought to go about rebalancing my stats a little. My armory is in my sig, but i have 1.95k heals and about 15% crit, 89 mp5 if i remember correctly.
Looking at your armory, you have almost exclusively used 18 healing gems, I find myself doing the opposite. Given the choice of 18 healing or 9 healing 2 mp5, I would take the mp5. Also I see your int is quite low (less than 10k mana unbuffed) so throwing a few 9 healing 4 int gems into those sockets wont hurt either, remember that the int will increase your crit (albeit very slowly) AND scales with buffs like kings.
Since they removed the unique equip, the 11 healing 4 crit gems from ramps are my personal favorites, though a little hard to get a hold of if you don't like farming.
I can't see any 25 man gear in there, so I can't say how much 25 man content you've done, but most of the T4 and T5 fights are quite long and the focus is more on mana conservation that raw healing power, so I have itemised with that in mind. Unfortunately the T6 bosses i'm moving through now seemed to have gone back in the other direction and i'm wishing I had a bit more punch (I have about 2.1k unbuffed healing, but 25% holy crit and 130mp5).

As stated earlier, I would re-gem.
The gems which give +healing and mp/5 are really nice tho.
The grand restorer ring is nice, but I would prefer the blue ring from HH/Thrallmar rep.
I'd also get the shoulder enchant that has mp/5 on it from Scryers/Aldor.
Maybe you could replace either one of your trinkets with the Sha'tar-rep Crit one?
Other than that, I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Your spell crit is actually ~20%, since you don't cast non-holy spells. Unbuffed that's not terribly below par, you've just made some trade-offs that boost your base +heal at crit's expense.
God I can't wait tell i'm ready for raiding.PALADIN FTW!Only level 24 but holy specced.Getting tired of being told to go RET.I know nothing of ret.Especially for leveling.I've read the Ret guide but its for raiding.:( oh well least i have good gear.
I do have the sha tar rep trinket, it's alright but i prefer the healing boost.
As for all the 18 healing trinkets, i remember reading that the best way to gem would be to just max out healing wherever possible, and that's what i tried to do. I had a look at my gear and i don't really see any spots where i can swap out gems. any specific examples?

I don't prefer maxing out +healing myself.
What are you going to do with if if you run out of mana?
Balance between +healing,crit and mp5 is the keyword to success.
My own paladin has only got 1 gem that has only +healing on it, the rest of my gems are +heal/mp5, intellect and spellcrit.
Your mp5 really isn't that low, in your case I would just sacrifice some of those +18healing-gems for spellcrit-gems.

Yep... agreed, re-gemming seems the way to go. I was in your position not too long ago where my +healing was outweighing my crit and mp5 by quite a margin. Now since I tend to use downranked HL quite often I took to stacking a bit of crit and leave my mp5 at around the 90-100 mark (which is probably the bare minimum).
I re-gemmed with +8 spl crit gems and various other combinations, equiped the xi'ri gift trinket from sha'tar rep and voila, a shade under 25% crit. That seemed a nice amount to work with. Normally, if I think my mana regen will be an issue, I will flask or pot for mp5 and use superior mana oil. That seems to control my regen just fine, I'll take at most 1 or 2 pots on a boss fight, sometimes none at all.
As you get other new gear, you may think about re-gemming your old gear too to rebalance the stats depending on how quickly you think they'll be replaced.
Just my 2 cents.

PvP gear has no mp5. I also prefer the t4 helm to the ZA one since it has a meta gem. Also what is up with the neck, ew.
You need to run Kara and replace a lot of that gear, mainly pve. Legplates of the innocent, t4 chest, t4 shoulders (you have ret shoulders s1, bad times). Your Spellcrit is ho hum, your Mp5 is atrocious. 1900+ healing is nice but if you don't have the mana regen stats to back it up you are gimping yourself.
Try to get mp5 back up to 100 while casting, unbuffed. Spell crit isn't horrible so if it goes down .5 a percent or goes up, not a problem. Really start looking at Kara and what you need, start trying to find Gruul and Mag pugs and replace PvP gear.
