Cons to being a paladin is not having an AoE heal or HoTs. However you have lots of ways to save people's lives with BoP and LoH. Another downside is not being able to push a whole lot of healing in a short time like priests, druids and shamans can with fast mana inefficient heals. Paladins FoL is very mana efficient, but doesn't heal a lot.
As a paladin I disagree with mostly raid healing, Tank heals with flash of light is critical during times where every other healing is waiting to cast that big heal. If anything we are probably better at Tank healing then as a raid healer.
Flash is what makes us great and Holy Light is still faster then most greater heals for the other classes. While we can use any type of gear, Leather and cloth is where we find ourselves when it comes to getting the best of both worlds. Plate is nice but you really don't see it until raids, even then late game raids such as aq/t3.
It is true we have short buff durations and no form of heal over time. Talents such as Illumination allow us to regain base mana when we crit. When looking at Effective healing, Here is the current record for most effective healing on Bosses:
As you can see, Paladin Dominate when it comes to not only healing, but effective raid healing.
The downside is they also TOp the overhealing charts. when getting downright to it, here is a list of effective heals for overall
Average Performance for players vs Molten Core
. Mana seems to be a serious issue here. So I wanted to ask which class is most mana-efficient? I have most experience with pala and druid but I don't know my knowledge is even applicable here.
