Help with holy pally

[Zabimaru 0]

I have been trying to switch over to a holy pally to help my guild with progression. In under a week I have been able to get my ilvl up to 891. However, my guild is complaining that I don't have the numbers that the other healers do even though I explain to them I only have 2 aoe heals and one of them is on a 3 min cooldown since I use Aura of Sacrifice. I am using Holy Shock on cooldown, but I don't cast it if everyone is as full health, and since I am near the melee, I focus on the tanks and them, but I will still throw a Flash of Light, unless I get the proc from a Holy Shok crit, to ranged and other healers. I have started using Flash over the regular heal just to get them out faster, I have the legendary cloak so I will weave in Light of the Matyr after using a Light of Dawn since it can crit for over 1 mil, but I don't use it that often since I am using Aura of Sacrifice. I am getting tired of them telling me my numbers are low, but unlike some of the dps that tunnels bosses, I actually do mechanics, and I tend to not die as much as other dps and healers. I have been trying to get as much crit as I can for Holy Shock, but not sure if I should even go that route anymore. Any help on rotation would be much appreciated since I have abandoned my 900 warlock to help my guild with mythic progression, but again, they are only focused on numbers and since I only heal tanks and melee and not everyone all the time, my numbers are lower and they can't seem to understand that.

Here is my current armory link

I think you're misunderstanding the role of a holy paladin. We don't heal ONLY the tanks, we use our beacons to do the work of healing the tanks by spot/sort of AOE healing the raid. 

Talentwise for raids you should be taking 1/3/??/3/2/3/1. The talents I see in your armory are almost all wrong for the content you're doing. An argument can be made for Aura of Sacrifice, but it forces you to pour all your major CDs into one big one, and if you fall below 75% health at any time, your Aura is completely cancelled out until you are above 75% health again. I also think it has an unusually high skillcap where you need to get everything lined up perfectly to save your raid from certain death. Swap to Mercy for now for a nice little boost to your parses while your raid lead is on your ass and play with Sac Aura when it's a little less high stakes.

I can't speak as to LotM except to keep trying to force a better legendary and a Drape of Shame from lower Kara M+ keys. LotM is an oh shit, someone's dying and I need to move and can't stand still to cast spell for me. 

You should also try to force better trinkets from Nethershards in Broken Shore. At the very least an Int/Crit or Int/Mast stat stick, and of course keep trying for a cake.

Your microCDs are really important and allllmost fall into a solid rotation, as they're all on similar CDs. Bestow Faith --> Judgment --> Rule of law -->Light of Dawn (once you have Sacred Dawn your positioning is even more important - EVERYONE inside the LoD cone gets 15% increased heals from you, NOT just the ones who were originally healed by LoD)--> Holy Shock (preferably someone inside that cone) --> IoL'd FLs/HL, toss a Crusader's Strike or two in if you can fit them in. 

If you adhere strictly to this rotation you'll OOM pretty quick, so make sure you watch your mana bar.

Thank You for your reply. I played my pally a lot to get his ilvl over 890 to be able to help with M NH, only to have my guild leader tell me that when I asked him about switching over a holy pally to help with progression, that I was told we didn't need one, which was a bold faced lie, so I have now moved on to a new guild that needs a warlock more than a holy pally.

What a waste of a great post Scriptix. I've thought about using my pally to heal a little. You're post helped me, even if it didn't help the impatient  guild hopper. :) No offense impatient guild hopper. I totally understand the whole "playing your own game" thing. More power to ya. Good luck with the lock.
