The article seems like a pretty nice way to say, "Holy Power is basically useless for Holy Paladins right now." Inquisition has weak damage, there is no time to use Crusader Strike, and Word of Glory can equal Holy Shock, but there is nothing so remarkable about it that one even remembers to use it. Sounds like Blizzard has a long way to go on Holy Power design.

I wouldn't say it's claiming it useless, just boring or a work in progress at the moment. To me Holy Power for Holy right now is just a mana saver; it's like those punch cards you can get at stores that say "Buy 5 x and get the next x for free!" Only it's cast 3 Holy Shocks and get the next one for free (and rename it Word of Glory).

As for the rapid fire WoG on a Beacon, I think it could work like described; it's like a manual HoT. You get to heal on the move and regenerate your mana as well, throw an HS in for a bigger heal and to buff up the next WoG. Some may find that dull, but I think it keeps it interesting enough for movement fights.
