@Amanda: All of those things are very good reasons to clomp on over to melee range and start slapping the boss around. It's often worth discussing with the raid first, but paladins make great "melee healers" and spells like light of dawn and holy radiance reward us for getting close to other players. What's more, your average paladin with enlightened judgments has a simply preposterous hit rating, so there's only one level of RNG in the mana procs.

It also depends on the type of fight, though. Omnotron is a super chaotic fight, and you should concentrate more on Arcanotron's generators than on the main DPS target (aside from Judging it of course). Magmaw and Algaloth reward this strategy, but all healers should be stacking anyway. In a fight like Valiona/Theralion, though, the meteors are easy to handle with a "ranged group" and a "melee group" with dedicated healers. This is a prime opportunity to tell the raid leader "I'm all over that."
