Well that is certainly a matter of opinion and not a fact. I raid holy in my 10 man guild and we are doing just fine. I was disc through most of ICC but I find Holy to be much more enjoyable to play right now.
I was wondering about Haste and if there is a reason to stack haste beyond the renew ticks? Right now, I am about 10 points over the 5th Renew tick of 1318.6 (with 2/3). However, when I aimed for that goal, my raid group didn't have the 5% haste buff. Recently though, we just replaced one of our members with a shadow priest. Since I have the 5% haste buff now, my requirements to get the 5th renew tick dropped to 915 with 0/3 Darkness. I looked and that and considered re-enchanting my gear that has Haste enchants, taking my other 2 talent points out of Darkness, and reforging out of haste until I was around 915 haste rating.
I didn't do it yet because while that gives me my 5th renew tick, I didn't know if there were other reasons to keep my haste high, even if I am over shooting the 5th tick. Is there any reason currently why I should keep my 2/3 Darkness or why I shouldn't re-enchant my bracers to Mastery instead of Haste?
