A crit for 900 with Flash of Light seems low to me. Tribade who is healing speced but still in some green usually crits closer to 1200. I just tested a few and saw only one crit below 1100 (with Blessing of Light). Flash of Light heals through Scholomance and Stratholme. I would hope that a paladin in MC and BWL equipment could do somewhat better.

For this encounter where mana is not an issue, maybe Holy Light is a better way to go.

Pallies are wearing like 200-250 FR gear, there isn't much +heal FR gear out there, so the Flash of Light is more or less base with +200 or so healing in MC gear + chants. FoL is 343-383 (or 363 avg), with talent that jumps to 406 average blessing of light adds 115 so you are at 561 average now. You only get I think 42% of your +healing on FoL.

The 115 from blessing of light does seem to get a crit bonus so I'll just consider that part of the "base" FoL. So to get a 1200 FoL crit you need a base FoL of 800, so you need (800 - 561) / .42 = 570 +healing.

Yeah you can have that, but you can't ge that on gear that also gives you 200+ FR, even though you can pretty much give up all your mana and mana regen for the fight. Maybe I'm missing a few enchants. 300 healing I could see on the FR gear, but again that is only gonna give a 'base' FoL of 690 which will be just over a 1K crit.


I still personally find Holy Light a better way to go pretty much all the time. FoL is more mana efficient but the more +healing you get, the less that becomes the case, and the HP/s of Holy Light is about double. So 1 to 2 times the HP/s for only like a .5 to 1 HP/mana reduction (depends on the HL rank)? Yeah FoL is rarely my spell of choice.
