Update: I have added some comments in the string. The purpose of this thread is not to debate Ret vs Prot vs Holy DPS, the purpose is to discuss increasing Holy DPS in leveling, questing, and in dungeon groups.
I thought I would raise a new topic for the Legion Holy Paladin since we have beat the Holy Paladin healing issues like a dead horse and we have little feedback from Blizzard (yet).
We will all be doing a lot of dps during leveling and during ongoing World Quests. We recently got a single target dps buff. Has anyone analyzed and wrote a holy dps guide? If so, feel free to link to the rest of us.
Here are a few ideas from my experience:
1. DPS boosts: Take the Crusaders Might talent at level 15 to increase number of HS. Take Holy Avenger and Sanctified Wrath talents at level 75 and 90. Take Virtues of the Light and Shock Treatment in the Artifact tree.
2. Decrease Damage: Take Aura of Devotion at level 60, and Knight of the Silver Hand in the Artifact tree.
3. Use HS, CS, and Judgement along with Consecration. This leaves a gap in our "rotation" at times based on my experience. Use dps boosts on cooldown.
4. Question - which secondary stats to focus on? Crit then Vers/Haste? Mastery does not increase dps, only healing.
5. Obtain dps trinkets such as Horn of Valor. What other trinkets?

6. Use the followers to boost dps, and eventually use Lothraxion and his stuns/dps increase as the primary dps following when questing in the world. Note - you can use add items to his slots to gather more Order Resources with each WQ.
