You posted twice when you really only needed to edit the first one. I'm giving you a warning for not reading the rule on this, and merging this post with the one above it.

(I'm assuming here that they'll follow through on the talents and tune them to make the melee-healer playstyle actually work.)

Kind of honestly, Cathela, I think you're reading too much into the changes. All the Holy changes work perfectly well from 30 yards away. I think the melee-healer playstyle you see is an unintended side-effect of Blizzard trying to get us to mix up our heals--rather than spamming FoL all night long--and not an intended change to Holy paladin playstyle.
