first of all

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Bleeding+Hollow&n=Almacan

my question is what gems should i replace to get my healing up. I have a pretty nice health pool and i can last forever but i think my healing is a little bit too low. I know i dont have my meta yet but im about to since i just got my venge helm. i have 354 res and im liking that but still, my healing isnt that great to me. any help would be nice

thank you in advance :]!

also im sorta new to priests, after playing my druid for a long time :]

Ok, will start with your weapon. If you want more healing, going with one handed and off hand, that will generally give you more healing. I see that you have the mace from night bane, so the healing mace from prince shouldn't be too hard to get for you.

Add to that an off hand weapon that also gives you stamina, and you should be able to get back up to the stamina of the staff, even something as low as:

of course, you could go all out and get a pvp one (not the top quality one, so you could even get better):

For your back, it would be better to get the badge back that raises your resilience and spell haste also:

You could also get your epic pvp trinket:

As for the gems, you only have 8 gem slots all filled with stamina resilience or healing. You have to make a choice, which is more important for you? With buffed hp of over 11000, I would swap out a few of the stamina type gems for Healing ones. If you can, go for some heroic gems, they usually give the best bang for the buck, and are no longer unique equipped. I would get a team together and run heroic arc and heroic sethekk halls as many times as I could to try to get:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=30581;source=live (from arc)

and

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=30552;source=live (from Sethekk)

The durable fire opal appears to be the only gem that will give both plus healing and resilience, so I would make myself a master of heroic arc.

Sorry for the long post, and suggestions on things you didn't ask for, but thought they might help.

I also noticed one big thing wrong. You don't have a single enchant on your items for healing. The easiest way for you to gain about 150 healing is to enchant your weapon with +81 healing (yes, you can enchant staffs with it even though it says one handed), bracers and gloves. Heck, you could even take up enchanting for your second unused spot and get an additional 40 healing from enchant ring healing.

Thank you very much! That helped so much and answered some other questions. Yeah that 3 spirit on the staff was free and never got around to get the 81 healing. As for the gems, those are pretty nice, i could probably get a mixture of the 2 for some stam and resilience.

Oh yes also, what do you think would be better for my meta socket. Ive thought about healing but also the stam one. Maybe there is better options but those are the 2 ive really even thought about.

Thanks a lot for the reply

Go here:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Enchants

Besides the +81 for your weapon, based on my rep, some of the other things I have:
Golden Spellthread for your pants (+66 healing)
Glyph of Renewal for your Helm (+35 healing)
Inscription of Faith for your shoulders (+29 healing)

There will be other choices based on your faction and rep. Use wowwiki and look up each and every slot you have. Improve those where you have epics you plan to keep a while.

Also, look at the badge loot from the shattered sun rep. There is some great loot there.

Check the armory and use the find an upgrade option for every slot you have. See which are attainable through rep or other sources that are realistically available to you.

Get your fishing and cooking up to 375. mmmmm, Golden Fish Sticks for +44 healing.

Check out the Tailored Epics as a possibility. I see you are a tailor.

As for meta gems, I've chosen the Bracing Earthstorm Diamond for +26 healing and 2% reduced threat.

For other stats like mana regen, there are also oils on your weapon and flasks and elixirs.

Other than talent choices, improving +healing is about seeing what you can do with each of your slots. I'm a healbot and self buffed come in at +2162 healing. Being more pvp oriented, you've focused more on other stats, but there are still plenty of places for you to make an improvement.
