Why it works

This build takes the Discipline core first: Meditation keeps 50% spirit regen active while casting, Inner Focus gives a free high-impact heal, Soul Warding improves Power Word: Shield efficiency, and Penance adds a powerful instant-cast emergency heal. Holy supplies the raid-healing multipliers: Divine Fury for faster Heal/Greater Heal casts, Inspiration for armor uptime from crit heals, Improved Healing for mana efficiency, Binding Heal for safe recovery when you and a target are both hurt, Litany of Light for spell-weaving mana returns, Spiritual Guidance to turn Spirit into healing power, and Spiritual Healing for stronger casts.

The gear prioritizes +healing, mp5, Intellect and Spirit. Faith pieces dominate most armor slots because they combine large healing with Spirit/Intellect and sustain; Bracelets of Royal Redemption are chosen for exceptional wrist-slot healing. Life Channeling Necklace, Ring of Faith, Pure Elementium Band, Eye of the Dead and Rejuvenating Gem are the major throughput picks, while Cloak of Clarity adds excellent mp5. Grand Marshal’s Stave is the best supplied main-hand option for raw magical power and stats; because the provided main-hand options are two-handers, the off-hand is intentionally empty. Torch of Light is the best healing wand.

Play by preventing deaths, not topping meters: keep Inner Fire active, use Greater Heal as the efficient main cast, Penance and Flash Heal for sudden drops, Renew or Shield while moving, and Binding Heal when you also need healing. Use Inner Focus before an expensive Greater Heal or Prayer of Healing, and save Eye of the Dead for predictable raid damage.
