Holy Paladin leveling guide
Holy is the single-target healer of the Paladin, and nobody keeps a tank alive better in Outland dungeons. 
Illumination and 
Divine Illumination make 
Holy Light cheap, 
Light’s Grace speeds up the next Holy Light, and 
Holy Shock heals or damages in an instant. Alone it kills slowly, so pick it when you mostly level through dungeons.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Big, efficient heals on the tank with Holy Light.
- Plate armor and
Divine Shield let you survive mistakes. - Blessings and auras make you welcome in every group.
Slow solo questing, and weak healing on several players at once.
