Whatever. The side note was just there to illustrate that you can do fine in Naxx with as much int as a level 60 blue equiped priest.

I won't comment on your guide. It seems you missed that I actually did mention two different things on which my comment as the "top" priest was based.

Your guide actually makes it pretty clear that you don't want a reasonable discussion of the merits of damge meters. In fact almost every point you make is in favour of damage meters!

If you still want it, you might be suprised in what a carefull analysis of the meriads of different data damege meter provide tells you about your raid.

I'm going to state this once, and once only, damage meters lead to sloppy play. I know, because when I bothered with trying to get the biggest E-peen, the raid suffered because I was pulling mobs off tanks. Once I got rid off it, it's very rare that I pull mobs off tanks (hasn't happened in any 40 man instance since, and happens occasionally in 5 and 10 mans when the tank is undergeared compared to me as I'm in full Tier 2).

I would much rather be known as a good player for banishing that demon or elemental at the right time and keeping it locked down while helping the raid DPS something down. I would rather be known for putting up that curse that helps the raid down the boss quicker. I don't need to be top of the damage meters to know I'm doing my job. (Hell, last night I died by grabbing aggro on lava elemental in MC with my Warrior before the Warlocks banished it, by doing so, anytime it unbanished, it came to me, not the Warlocks or the Healers, and in the end, it killed me, but by then, the raid was ready to deal with it and kill it, to me, my character getting killed helped the raid, I know a few healers were probabaly pissed that their heals didn't land, but they were still there to keep other people up fighting that elemental instead of being dead because it beelined to them because of healer aggro instead of a plate wearer.)

So using damage meters as a criteria for how good someone is doesn't prove anything, especially in the healing arena where overhealing is far easier to do and wastes mana.
