Overview
Phase 3 Holy Priest raid healing for BT/Hyjal. Vestments of Absolution (T6 heal) with Crystal Spire of Karabor, Memento of Tyrande, and Blessed Band of Karabor. You are the raid's CoH / PoH throughput healer and emergency single-target stabilizer with Guardian Spirit-less TBC tools (Pain Suppression is Disc — Holy leans PoM, CoH, Flash).
Pre-shield tanks when you can, keep Renew rolling on the MT, and save CoH for stacked damage (Naj'entus spikes, Hyjal waves, Illidan transitions). Mana efficiency matters more than raw HPS on long Illidan attempts.
