I personally feel that one of the biggest failures of Cataclysm was only adding 5 levels to the max level for your character. I personally hit 85 in only 2 weeks. After that I was left grinding heroic dungeons and doing starter raids until everything got very boring. One of my biggest complaints with MoP (and trust me, I have lots) is the fact that they only added 5 more levels to the max level again.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here as I actually come from perhaps a small camp of holy paladins who enjoy a large amount of crit. Here's my reasoning. With the dramatically larger health pools I'm rarely finding myself over healing a target. Large crits are usually just filling up more of the health bar instead of being wasted. I also rarely am finding myself in a position where I just can't get heals off fast enough since I have options between instants, quick heals, aoe heals, and large slow heals. I still have a modest amount of haste on my gear but I've actually been enjoying a larger amount of crit.

Of course, I definitely agree that our set bonuses are terrible and the 2 piece bonus buffing holy light is an absolute joke since I pretty much have removed that spell from my hotbar as it's all but useless to me. A slow heal that heals for under 10k is a joke in my opinion. Also, I am reforging all of my mastery into anything else because our mastery bonus is just terrible.

Word of Glory on a 20 second cooldown?! No more lucky free chain casts of Word of Glory when the 30% proc hits. This one change is going to seriously alter my healing style :(

It's gotten to the point now where I refuse to run Heroic Stonecore simply because of the Ozruk fight. This fight is 100% dependent on the tank. The other players might as well not be there because one slight mistake by the tank and it's over. To make the problem even worse, many many players have been experiencing large lag spikes over the past few weeks. Unless your latency is less than 500ms, I've found that YOU WILL NOT kill Ozruk. The small room for error, coupled with delayed reaction times due to the lag, basically make this fight unplayable in my opinion.

I just want to say thank you to Paragon for using excellent music in this video. I'm so sick of watching raid/boss videos with blaring metal/techno music (which I mute). This music fit perfectly for the fight and really made the encounter feel that much more epic!

You forgot the biggest pet peeve... Undergeared DPS players pulling aggro from the tank and taking tremendous amounts of damage without even considering using an aggro-drop. I don't know how many times I've become so frustrated with this and simply let the DPS player die just to teach them a lesson on aggro management. A healer should be healing a DPS player through un-avoidable hits... not as a second main tank!

They could give the retail game away for free along with no monthly charge and I still wouldn't play this crap. Way to ruin a great franchise Square!
