5K HPS on Loatheb? Pics or it didn't happen. If you time everything well you can get a PoH, 2 CoH's and perhaps a Flash Heal off. That all together in Ulduar gear and holy spec doesn't amount to 5K hps.

yeh i found out after he was talking about 25 man but still tips would be great always better to try and make myself better ^^, also i cast my poh at about 2 secs left then do coh as soon as it goes off then flash then coh if it's up again, would it be better for me to Pom ?

No, PoM is going to get at utmost 2 bounces which is at most 5K healing assuming both bounces crit. Starting up a PoH at 2 sec, then CoH, then Flash and another CoH is really the most healing you can cram into that interval as holy if you don't have any haste. If you do, you can replace that Flah Heal with another CoH, but that's pretty much it. At most you're going to get about 6300 HPS in those ~6 seconds, assuming you get a bunch of crits, all your AOE heals actually heal every target and you've got enough haste to cram in a second PoH. Seeing as 6300 HPS over 6 seconds is going to be followed up by ~20 seconds of 0 HPS, there is no way on neither 10 or 25-man that you're going to get a consistent 5000 DPS in that fight.

Edit: The only possible exception is if he's a disc priest and counts damage absorbed by PW:S as healing done. Disc priests shield the entire raid the entire fight long and can get obscene amounts of 'H'PS doing this.

My strategy on this is to start before the aura vanishes. Throw up renews on as many as possible who has lost health ~10seconds before the aura fades. Start casting PoH 2-3 seconds before the aura drops so that it hits just as the aura goes away. Then PoM, Flash Heal(if you have one instant), CoH and lastly a Flash Heal if it's instant. By then, the aura is usually back in effect.
All in all, it heals quite a bit, but nowhere near that 5k hps mark.

Just saying HPS isn't tell me anything

If there is a druid in the raid his hots will snipe some of your heals, shaman's the same

All in all HPS means nothing to me

That being said try to keep PoM up on the tank every cd its very cheap mana wise

You can keep renews also, but I'm not really a fan of renew even with 6 talent points and a glyph it feels weak to me. Some holy priests use it though so to each their own

In nax a lot of your PoH will be wasted or not fully used, once you start moving in to ulduar there is more constant and substantial raid damage. Holy priests really shine there

It kind of tells me the player he is that he's on an alt trying to make himself look better than someone else...kind of a joke imo

If no one died (especially if there weren't a lot of "near misses" on deaths), and assuming you weren't crushed on meters by other healers on that fight, there's no reason to try to generate more throughput. The DK is an idiot, flat out. Not only is he exaggerating his numbers, but he's trying to make you feel "bad" about your healing on a fight where no one died and you won.

Next time just tell him: "I have a rogue who can do 12k DPS on Loatheb". If he calls you on it, just say you figured it was OK to inflate numbers because he obviously is. :)
