That being said...let's take a look at the amount of fights in Sunwell in which the raid has to stack up.
Kalecgos (demon phase) - possible
Brutallus - Check
Felmyst - Check
Twins - Check
M'uru - (melee) check
Kil'jaeden - (to an extent) check
All end game raids WILL have situations where it's imperative for the raid to stack, which will make Beacon of Light overpowered as hell. Some fights will require that everyone spreads out, which also reduces the effectiveness of priests and druids (not so much shaman...they'll always be OP). I guess what I'm trying to say is that Blizzard isn't trying to make the paladin into an AOE healer, that's not our forte, we ARE main tank and patch healers, we always will be. What they gave us is a spell that we can cast on bunched up groups, then get back to spamming holy light (yes, rank 7 is the best heal paladins have I don't care what you scrubs spamming flash say) on whoever we wish. It is an ASSISTANCE heal not a new MAIN heal. Get over it...if you want to keep the raid up reroll a shaman.
