I'm also having difficulties deciding on a Holy Paladin or Holy Priest.

I'm wondering if the main reason people go Priest is due to it being so hard to heal other party members apart from the tank which can be made up for by group healing? I seem to have worked out a decent way to heal anyone in the party so I'm not sure if Paladin would be the way to go.

Would Paladin also require less macros for skills? I gather they pretty much revolve around 1 or 2 heals.

It doesn't bother me too much either way, I mainly want to never run of mana but will have mages for water if needed. Also the thought of trying to gear 4 robe users doesnt seem very plesant.
