Cataclysm Holy Pally PvE Paladin Raid spec 4.0.3
69Cataclysm holly pally raid spec
Holy pallys are great healers as always. With Cataclysm out now Paladins have more aoe heals making us more viable and keeping more people alive. With Pve, your spec is going to want to focus on the max healing possible. Survivability and offensive moves don't come into play especially in raids you have 9 or 24 other people for the other jobs. Holy pallys still shouldn't be the main raid healer but they do offer great aid while they heal up tanks and what not. Although I was assigned to raid healing and felt pretty comfortable I wouldn't of been most efficient as other classes but that was my friends scrub guild so no worries. It was fun trying out the new aoe heals.

Holy Tree Breakdown
As I said earlier No offensive or survivablity points needed. You are the healer so If someone dies its your fault. This isn't a fact or anything its just easy to blame the healer so get used to it. If your having trouble adjusting to cata http://hubpages.com/hub/Pally-healing-guide-cataclysm.
A: This buffs your new Aoe heal making you run faster and gives you a steady 3% haste. The 60% run speed for 4 seconds is good seeing as running out of things is a very common aspect in a lot of fights and you can use it to get in the group for max heals. I also have been using it to run back after a wipe.
B: I didn't max this out so I could max out the word of glory buff in the prot tree. I will raid like this then review this decision later and change it if necessary.

Not sure if the first one stacks making it 12% more effective on you however for max healing in raids this is a well spent 3 points. The spot on the right is the word of glory buff giveing that spell a 30% chance to not consume holy power. This is already a no mana cost heal and is instant and 30% of the time you can do them back to back. This heal is good for when a single target most likely the tank is getting bombed with damage. This heal has a 60% chance to crit on targets lower than 35% health.
Ret tree for pve healing
Ret tree breakdown
30% to holy shock which is a heal you should be using everytime its up a must have no question talent. On the right this talent along with the one in the holy tree maxes out the judgement range at 40yards. You use judgement as many times as allowed meaning your not using it when you or raid are under heavy damage but you get your haste buff and mana back which is important as we are under geared for now.

I use this build: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#sMIbzrkuhfkhbZc
I've only taken 1 point in Enlightened Judgments which is just to reduce the chance that my judgement will miss (which means more mana over the course of the fight) maxing it is excessive imo, and 1 point in Blessed Life, There is a lot of AoE damage in Cata, just like in Wrath, and that extra Holy Power comes in handy. I've passed on Improved Judgments and Aura Mastery--however: there are still 2 points left which you can play with. I tend to go with maxing Improved HoJ for a better interrupt.
