Playstyle
Single-target-focused healer built around Holy Shock, filled with Flash of Light, spending Holy Power on Eternal Flame in Mythic+ or Light of Dawn in raid. A decade-plus raid staple thanks to consistently excellent single-target throughput and some of the best defensive/mechanic-mitigation utility in the game (Blessing of Freedom, Blessing of Protection, Divine Shield).
Devotion Aura plus "some of the best utility in the game"
Season 2 Tier Set
Radiance of the Consecrated Flame
Infusion of Light increases the healing of Flash of Light by an additional 75% and the absorb from Greater Judgment by an additional 75%.
Judgment now has a 20% chance to grant Infusion of Light. Holy Light now has a 50% chance to grant Infusion of Light.
+ The Good
Devotion Aura plus "some of the best utility in the game"
Consistently strong single-target healing/survivability
− The Bad
Mobility lags behind other healers
Divine Steed's cooldown limits can leave it exposed when a fight demands frequent repositioning
Contributing raid damage means diverting Holy Power and cooldowns away from healing

Boosts Holy Shock and swaps Word of Glory for Eternal Flame (a heal plus a small HoT), with Dawnlight beams adding passive group healing. Currently the higher-throughput, go-to choice in both raid and Mythic+.
Strengthens group defense through Holy Bulwark/Sacred Weapon and generates extra Infusion of Light procs for spot healing. Solid, but currently trails Herald of the Sun on raw throughput.
