my pally team just hit 80 today, i bought some gear for my tank (tempered titansteel helm, boots, epic tanking ring) and titansteel destroyers for the rets. Then i leveled maces a bit on the rets (only 390 atm). Rest of my tanking gear is quest and instance blues. The rets still have some questing greens.

Tank stats (unbuffed): 22k health, 24k armor, 30% avoidance, def capped
Ret stats: 17k health, 2.1k AP, 210 hit, 22% crit, 0 expertise

The rets have really bad gear, but i decided to give heroic DTK a try. Trash didn't go to well, almost died twice, but i managed to survive.

I killed trollgore with 10-20% health on all pallys, but i was really suprised i could kill him with crappy gear. Novos was harder, i was trying to use as few mana as possible on the trash on the stairs, and when novos became attackable i did some quick heals and rushed in.

After 10-15 seconds the first ret dies: blizzard + wrath of misery(the shadow curse) sucks! My rets only have 17k health so the curse really hurts and i have to heal through it. What's the best way to heal 1 ret? 4 x flash of light would require 4 more heal buttons, holy light on himself also requires 4 extra buttons. Until now i used only 3 healing buttons: 1 for 4 x flash of light on the tank, 1 for flash of light on each of the rets, and 1 for holy light on each of the rets. When only 1 ret needs healing none of these are good options.

My macros also need a lot of work i think, i have 5 main buttons:
1: tank SoR rets crusader strike
2: all judgement
3: all exorcism
4: tank hammer ot righteous rets divine storm
5: all consecration

dps i got in DTK up to novos: tank 1.2k rets 1.1k

I think my dps is way too low?? (first heroic for me EVER) Will my dps increase by much with better macros? And where should i get gear upgrades outside of heroics? Should i first upgrade my gear before i start on heroics?
