I happen to have the Naglering, which does 3 damage, which is enough to tag em, but not enough to kill zolo too fast. Trouble is I am holy and I don't have nearly the staying power of a tankadin. I do have some tanking gear (couple heroic plate and some kara ones) and the Nightbane tanking shield, but I had better results with my skullflame shield a bit more reflective damage, less armor tho, and it has a spike but its life steal keeps me alive longer. I actually died before zolo But I got an amazing amount of xp, and because im holy, my heals heal for a lot, so with concetration on, and spiritual focus, I can heal without interruption, until my mana runs out (my tanking gear is mostly warrior stuff so no INT, and i only have 6300 mana in that gear)

Is it worth it to respec? Even with my half tank/half healer gear? The xp I am getting on my 41 (now 42 lol) hunter is crazy. As soon as my team reaches 35 this is a MUST for any instance booster. I will probably do it until the mobs are grey, just cause its so easy. I can actually watch the xp bar move... I can't wait to try this with a prot spec. Any tips for a build? It's basically just gonna be a boosting build just for this...
BoSanct is a must for paladin boosting. When you are taking damage from literally hundreds of mobs this blessing lowers the incoming damage by a tremendous amount. TBH this is the only time this blessing really shines. Yes you may be able to heal for much more in holy spec but you are also taking alot more damage. With a proper "boosting" spec you will only need to heal every 3-4 mins.

Again I don't recommend using any raid tanking gear either, yes it will do just fine keeping you up but the reality is you just don't need it and it costs way too much in the long run to repair it. Spending a mere 180g I bought my paladin a complete "of the elder" set along, some rings, a neck piece, 3 shields and she is sitting at 11.5k hp, 370 def, 140 mp5, 200 healing and I don't have a single problem keeping myself up indefinitely.

If I was to respec holy and put on my +2100 healing set I'd probably be OOM long before Zolo was ready to die. You also don't block or parry when you are casting a spell, so even though you aren't getting spell push back you are taking alot more damage every time you need to heal.
