I think it’s safe to say that Holy is now competitive.
A holy priest, a discipline priest, and a druid walk into a bar...
They fixed Holy

That is awesome. Beruthiel seems to feel that they nerfed Druid healing pretty hard. Her post is at http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/initial-thoughts-on-the-4-3-resto-changes/
They nerfed druid enough to make me change main to my priest for 4.3
I never knew it wasn’t. I stayed holy the whole time in Firelands, even when everyone else’s guild made their priests go Disc. And guess what, I was always top on the meters, depending on the fight it was either myself as a Holy Priest or my guild’s Resto Druid. Now however with the Resto nerfs and our buffs I can say they might have overdone one or the other.
HAH! Our time has come. >;D
There were fights where you could stay holy in Firelands and be “OK.” There were also fights where you could go discipline and feel like you were contributing a lot more to your raid than just a Renew on the tank.
Believe me, I was one of the firmest advocates of staying holy throughout Firelands. But, I realized that were some things holy just not compete with. I couldn’t heal myself and my orb buddy on Heroic Domo as holy. I couldn’t keep *anyone* alive as holy on Baleroc. I was bored to tears on Shannox.
While I’m elated that holy has received a much needed buff, I do still strongly encourage holy priests to keep that discipline off-spec, just in case. I think that’s one thing I’m proud to say that I took away from this experience – that there’s nothing wrong with admitting that another spec doesn’t something better and being able to make that call.
Definitely agree
