@ Zappo, are you the warlock that used to play on Dalvengyr? If so, hi, good to see you again!

On topic:

A healer that gets aggro from healing, is healing a bad tank (excepting casting large heals immediately upon engaging mobs).

Only effective heals generate threat; overhealing does not generate threat beyond the marginal threat of the cast itself, nor does a critical heal have additional threat beyond the effective healing done.

Crit is a necessary stat for both paladins, to be able to spam Holy Light more efficiently (which is necessary for serious, heal-intensive content). Divine Plea made mp/5 an obsolete mana regeneration stat, and its scaling is too poor to make it worthwhile.

These goggles are quite good, and I myself will be using them into the forseeable future. They also fit in an engineering bag, which makes them much easier to handle than non-engineering helms; having both engineering and non-engineering helms in Outfitter sets seriously screws up inventory. I am mainspec prot, but respec continuously and have offspec sets comparable to my mainspec gear.
