    Holy Paladin Heroic DS help please

    I just transferred to a new guild/realm as my old guild was not progressing due to major lack of attendance. (Only 3/8H) With the realm being so dead, even pugs weren't an option. So I just moved to a high progressed and active realm and I have a few doubts. Been seeing a lot of big claims out there about how faceroll Heroic DS is yet my old guild couldn't make it past Heroic Zon'ozz.

    So obviously, I'm looking to ensure that my heals and tactics are up to standard, so I'm not a complete failure come raid time.
    Which of course sent me looking for videos/forums for advice to increase my output, but I'm not quite satisfied with the information I have found.

    Would anyone know of a website/video/forum that would help to better prepare me for Heroic DS?
    I've linked my armory as well, as I will take any advice there as well, to optimize my performance.

    Fatboss videos on youtube are decent, but keep in mind they were made mostly pre nerf so its a little easier now and certain fights can be done differently (like ranged staying in the center for Hagara during ice phase and just healing through it.)

    I've watched some of their videos and found them informative but still kind of wish there were more decent videos from the Holy Pally PoV. Mostly saw druid healing

    like above poster fatboss guides on youtube is a good place to get a general understanding of the fight.
    then you sit down on each ability the boss does and thinks what can i do here that will increase the survivability of the raid.

    but all that is theory. you wont know 100% before youve done the fight but above is a good way to at least not screw up too much

    Don't forget to check out the stickied PoV thread, sometimes you can learn a lot from just watching kill videos that many Holy Paladins have posted.

    Up until spine/madness there really isn't a hard fight to heal and they aren't that challenging either, I would say that most bosses just require basic knowledge of fight-length to plan for cooldowns and the fight, some fights require more AoE healing, some more spot healing with single target heals, it usually takes a few pulls to get each fight down, and during progress that shouldn't be to hard to get.

    You seem to be in a very good place gear wise to move into Heroics. Only thing I would advise is possibly two regen trinkets on the harder fights, like H Spine, but otherwise just look up as much as you can to be prepared.

    I have to agree with this, having both spine+tsunami trinket my self I'm very often in a place where I can be quite reckless during the high damage phases without going OOM, and during progress it was absolutely amazing.
