I rarely use Light of Dawn. This has little effect on the team as a whole as far as healing goes.
As to other healers... I'm still sold on Paladin if only for Bubble. It makes such a huge difference in so many fights. It's just crazy.
Without CC in heroics, I don't think we will go anywhere as 1xblood3xfrost unless you way way out gear the content. Gonna OOM way too fast with the Paladin, or any healer for that matter. Running your DK's as blood eases the pressure on the paladin when you cannot CC.
Just as an FYI, I'm leveling a Priest right now with my wife. This may or may not take over for my Paladin--I want an all-Worgen team :)
Yes I'm Horde, but... Worgen are so awesome!
What priority are you using for necrotic strike? Did you push it up higher than frost? Currently I just swapped plague with necrotic but I'm wondering if I shouldn't swap to necrotic above frost strike.
Ran some rated BG's tonight. Holy Paladin is definitely the weak link atm. It is a combination of healing being pretty terrible in BG's atm, and me not being used to running the Paladin in PvP as the healbot. I am strongly considering switching the Paladin to Prot and healing off of WoG. Less healing throughput, but more reliable healing and you will be more engaged directly in the fighting I feel.
However, even with me fumbling through my binds, and more often than not getting off one or two heals before my paladin got blown up, the opposing side usually had to commit a minimum of 7 people to deal with me, and usually more.
Unfortunately EoTS is a bit of a nightmare with respawning, and if your guys die even a few feet apart you might end up with part of your group else where.
Ok, so I made the switch on my Pali to Prot. I like it WAY more. I am adding more DPS, my pali is much, much more difficult to focus and kill, and I feel like by wearing stam/int gear, I am still able to heal moderately well in a crunch on for my DK's and my Paladin. WoG is pretty nice too.
I've been running Ruins of Gilneas and so far it's been pretty much a total faceroll, literally. I am still getting used to my cooldowns on my DK's so when the shit hits the fan, and by shit I mean allies and by fan, I mean me, I just mash all my cool downs and keep smashing. I usually ride straight for the lighthouse now, I think that is the one right in front of the ally GY.
Once there, I engage, and usually most of their team is there. What happens next is me rolling their team be it 6 or 7 people. About the time 5 or 6 die, those who died have respawned and I will eventually go down to a 3rd res group. However if my team mates are competent, they have capped 2 and are pushing on 3 in time to meet me there and then the three cap is on.
