ps; I do more hardmodes than your guild & there ARE MANY SITUATIONS where holy shock is a USEFUL SPELL TO USE ON THE TANK. It is our version of nature's swiftness, WHY WOULD YOU NOT USE IT
Well I wouldn't know 100% about holy paladin. I thought I'd help by linking one of my holy pally friend. I am not Roanexavier. It is him who does not use holy shock. He goes for the highest Heals per Second. He doesn't find any reason to use it much. Plus, we also have 3 resto druids in our raid. I only heal when they're in need of 2nd healer, I dps 98% of the time in Ulduar. He tells me how to heal, I listen to him. It works.
Oh and speaking of hardmodes, we do not plan on doing any hardmodes until we kill Yogg-saron.
