Why it works

This is a 35/11/5 healing build: Divine Intellect, Healing Light, Illumination, Divine Favor, Holy Power, and Holy Shock give strong throughput and mana return, while Spiritual Focus keeps casts stable under dungeon pressure. The 11 Protection points secure Blessing of Kings, and the 5 Retribution points improve Blessing of Might for raid utility when you are assigned that buff.

The gear prioritizes +healing first, then crit, Intellect, and mp5. Hammer of the Twisting Nether, Shield of Condemnation, Libram of Light, Eye of the Dead, and Rejuvenating Gem are the key power pieces: they add the largest healing package while keeping sustained mana strong. Redemption pieces are used where their crit/mp5/Intellect package beats a small raw-healing gain, while Wild Growth Spaulders, Corehound Belt, Empowered Leggings, and Bracelets of Royal Redemption are chosen for exceptional raw healing. Pure Elementium Band plus Ring of the Martyr gives a strong mix of healing and longevity.

Before pulls, keep the right Blessings assigned: Kings for general stats, Wisdom for mana users, Light for the main healing target, and Might for physical DPS if your raid needs it. Keep Beacon of Light and Sacred Shield maintained where appropriate. Use Divine Favor before a large heal, stack Avenging Wrath and Eye of the Dead for heavy-damage phases, and save Lay on Hands, Blessing of Protection, or Divine Shield for emergencies. Holy Shock is your instant option while moving or when a target needs immediate help.
