I agree with Artega. My experiences as a paladin healing in PvP suggest to me that Light's Grace is very crucial; Flash of Light simply doesn't sustain the HPS that PvP demands, unless you're talking about healing tanks in AV. My paladin's arena healing is almost solely max-rank Holy Lights. Granted, battlegrounds and Arena are a different thing, but even in WSG and AB, I find that Holy Light is my heal of choice. Smaller-scale situations tend to be where Flash is more useful, but my own experience is that it has to scale down to something like a 2v2 situation for Flash to become the backbone of healing. In larger situations, mana efficiency doesn't matter as much; you're merely trying to stall long enough to help your allies inflict the first death on the other team.
I would strongly recommend dropping all your points in Deflection, however. Game mechanics do not permit you to parry while casting, and you'll likely be casting constantly, either chain Flashes or chain Holy Lights, in battlegrounds.
