FIrst official 3.1 preview

I disagree. A Holy paladin isn't predispositioned to target enemy players anyway, and while it is certainly a buff, they are also getting a nerf this patch.

And not everything has to revolve around bloody arenas.

You've never heard of focus macros? Hammer of Justice and Judgement of Justice already require enemy targets, and they're not exactly ignored. The nerf affects Paladin longevity (not throughput, again, that's what macros are for), and that's still not really the issue. The issue is that burst damage is high and they are by far the best class at mitigating burst damage. And no, not everything revolves around arenas, but to think Blizzard is just going to hand out a random unnecessary buff is a little wacko.
