Question for the holy paladins around here...

I compared my healing output with another paladin yesterday (not in raid, in SW), and while my ilvl is 361 and his was 356 and every single one of my stats (int, sp...) was higher than his, all his heals were noticeably stronger than mines; eg. my DL crits at 40k and his 45k...

I thought intellect was the only driver to how big the heals were... am I missing something here?

(oh, and I believe I have picked up all the necessary healing increasing talents)

First place to check would probably be talents. Compare your build and his, see if there's any difference. Next, check gems and enchants. What consumables are the two of you using? Flasks, food, potions?

If it was in a major city and you were just healing one another in one of those random healing battles, then I'd ignore it. He might have been grouped with someone who was giving him a buff or something.

Everything is situational -- You healing and throughput will depend on what bosses you're healing and how much damage your raid takes.

Here's a helpful tool to help analyze your healing vs another. http://raidbots.com/comparebot/

Find a World of Logs parse from the other healer and compare it to a simialr parse of yours with CompareBot. You can see if there are any choices in healing style that might have boosted his healing numbers in a raid situation.
