You'll have to do better than a blanket statement like that. I'd rather have the 5% healing, as mana hasn't been a problem for me thus far.

Just look at the overhealing you do during fights. Should be a pretty hefty number. All of that overhealing is making that 5% bonus heal generally useless. Picking up the 3% crit increases your mana returns and throughput.

This statement wreaks of contradiction. First you state that the 5% bonus heal (completely throughput) is generally useless because of overhealing, then you claim the 3% crit is good because it increases throughput. On top of that, I am curious how you can state the extra 5% healing would just add to overhealing but don't think the extra crit will. Finally, crit isn't a throughput stat and shouldn't be depended upon to be such. It's primary purpose is mana regen with a bit of throughput added in.

Additionally, the added utility from having Pursuit of Justice should not be overlooked.

Enchant Boots - Boar's Speed is more than enough.

Dipping into the Protection tree is not worth it unless your willing to commit all 20 points needed to pick up DivSac/Imp SS, and I honestly see very little benefit to these outside of a few fights where DivSac is nice.

So you don't see the benefit to damage mitigation? Granted, Divine Sacrifice isn't something you'll be popping on every CD, but 35,000ish mitigation within a few seconds is hard to pass up. Not to mention the added mitigation from SS. 51/20/0 certainly isn't necessary for a guild's success, however you can't argue that it's as viable a build as 51/0/20. That'd be quite foolish given the immense amount of information to the contrary.

Other then Vezax, I would not want to give up the 8% crit, PoJ and 15% cheaper instants for anything in prot.

If you don't have mana problems, why not?
