Where to start as a new 80 Holy Paladin

I received the following question recently and I thought since others may be wondering the same thing, I would answer it in a post:
“I started WoW recently, and my holy paladin is going to hit 80 soon. I really want to get top tier gear, but I have no idea where to start. Should I [...]

Lower Spire Healadin Boss Strategies - 10-man Icecrown Citadel

Usually when I do a boss strategy post I reserve one boss for each post and go into quite a bit of detail.  This time, though, I figure if you’ve gotten this far in the game you have a good idea of the kind of things you need to do in a raid.  So, in this [...]

Best In Slot (BiS) Holy Paladin Gear (Holy Light focus)

Best in Slot lists are something you’ll notice that I have never included on this site.  The main reason for this is because I don’t believe there is always one best in slot for everyone for every encounter, every group, and every playstyle.  Also, it takes a lot of work to keep up to date and only [...]

Larger Health Pools in Cataclysm

Ghostcrawler made a couple posts yesterday restating what he has said before, that health pools are going to be much larger in Cataclysm than they are today compared to damage coming in.  What this means is that healing is going to be very different in Cataclysm than it is today.  There will be much more [...]
