Dual-specs have been a great boon to the game. Initially I wasn’t going to bother taking up this new ability but in the end I of course did. My second spec is holy, same as my off-spec has been since I started raiding with my paladin. It’s proved very useful to myself and I think my raid group. Generally our guild has never lacked high output dps but we have, I suspect like many guilds suffered with healer signups. It’s not so bad now but our holy paladins are not the most active of players.

Anyway I find myself now healing at fights such as Hodir and more recently Vezax. It’s actually great fun and a nice change from tanking something every encounter. I found a really nice concise site The Holy Paladin which covers everything from talent selection, glyphs, pots/elixirs right through to detailed breakdowns of how to maximise the effectiveness of your spells.
