IMBA Healing Guide

Special Thanks to Vixon - real men wear pink.......this is his:

Introduction: 
Ello Pinkies, had some downtime, got bored, decided to attempt the ludicrous notion of making a healing guide for ALL classes (Yowzers!). The idea came from a number of reasons, but mainly because we either have peeps trying healing for the first time, or some “oldis” coming back and yelling “WTF happened to my mana!”  

At the very least, it’s a place to swap ideas, theory craft, /ignore, or call me a noob (yea, i no that’s coming). I will attempt to keep it short, but will inevitable sometimes vague, as healing is a lot (i feel) about personal feel and taste, yet the basics are here. 

This is a constant work-in-progress, and guide only, hopefully something will be learned from this, but sooner or later you are just going have to go out there and get your hand dirty healing!  

Content: 
1) ALL Healers (...and in order of my strength of knowledge...) 
2) Holy Priest 
3) Discipline Priest 
4) Restoration Druid 
5) Restoration Shaman 
6) Holy Paladin

Holy Paladin Raiding Spec - Cataclysm

Light of Dawn vs Word of Glory

For 25 man, 99% of the time, you are better off using LoD because you can almost always hit 6 players/pets with it and at full effectiveness, it beacons more back to the tank than a WoG would. 

WoW Jewelcrafting Guide 1 -525

Jewelcrafting skill up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.0.6. Powerleveling your Jewelcrafting won't be cheap. Make sure you have enough gold, even if you have Mining. The best thing you can do is to try to sell the items you make, just put them on the Auction House. A lot of level 85 players are willing to buy low level items for their alt, if you can't sell something just disenchant it, and sell the shards/dust.

WoW Alchemy Guide 1 - 525

This WoW Alchemy guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Alchemy skill up from 1 to 525 as inexpensively as possible. Updated for WoW patch 4.0.6. Obviously, Alchemy is the best combined with Herbalism, with these two professions you can save a lot of gold and you can sell the potions/elixirs at the Auction House. Make sure you have enough gold to buy herbs if you don't have Herbalism, because you will need a lot of them.

[Holy]Cataclysm Holy Compendium (4.0.6) - from EJ

I am attempting to make sure everything in this post is confirmed, and that speculation is left to the discussion that will follow. Current as of 4.0.6, but as always I may have missed something, so please use diligence.

[top]Spec

I would currently recommend 31/3/3 as a base spec, with 4 points left to put where you feel it most useful.
Possible options:

• Enlightened Judgments - Transfers to beacon, helps offset judging for mana
• Eternal Glory - Usefulness depends on WoG usage, devalued currently by LoD
• Blessed Life - Can generate free HP under certain situations
• Last Word - Also devalued by LoD
• Improved Judgment - Extra range can be nice for flexibility
• Pursuit of Justice - Larger run speed bonus, minor Holy Power gains
