I'm approaching my target build as primarily for the smaller instances (frequently PuGs), with occasional raiding when I can get in on the alt rotation. Tier 1 isn't out of reach, but will likely be a long time coming. PvP is a non-issue.
I don't like having to miss out on Spiritual Healing, now, but I don't think I can justify going that far down when I don't much care about the Band-Aid dispenser.
I like the look of Spiritual Guidance, as I don't yet have hundreds of +heal, but the only place I think I can get the points for it would be to drop Mental Strength. This is the same delimma I'm having with gear right now--int vs. +heal. Logic tells me that the extra mana only helps when my mana bar is full, while the other helps the entire bar last longer--but I don't have the experience to back that up.
It took a serious amount of effort to really consider not having Improved Renew. So far, I'm using renew over everything else--without IR and SH, will it still be as useful? So I'm trying to find three points to steal to ease my mind:
* 1 - Imp Fort - The value here seems a little lower, but this could make rebuffing a serious pain in raids.
* 1 - Divine Spirit - It's nice, but I don't think it's mandatory. However, if I do end up with Spirtual Guidance, it's worth even more.
* 2 - Healing Focus - I'm doing okay without this now--but it sure would be nice to have a little extra cool-under-fire.
* 3 - Inspiration - I've never had this--how much does it really help? Given that I try to run renews so much, and that Greater Heal is becoming more useful, how often will this really proc (given moderate to low spell crit gear)?
* 1 - Spirit of Redemption - Do you _really_ get 10 seconds, or is it like most of the other timers in game (e.g. I've never seen more than 12 on a renew).
So what do y'all think for a soon-to-be (hopefully) "newly minted 60 Priest"?
