Holy Priest
Introduction
Holy priest is one of the most underrated healing classes in Wrath of the Lich King. But actually I believe Holy Priest is just an awesome healing class if played well and it is more fun than other healing classes to play.

Stat Priorities
Holy priests stat priorities really depends on talent and playstyle and balancing stats.
1. Spell Power (of course both spec needs spell power)
2. Haste (you would need haste over crit for Serendipity Spec) aim for around 800 haste
2. Crit (you would need a bit more of crit than haste when playing Empowered Renew Spec) Aim for around 20% crit
3. Spirit With more intellect your spirit becomes stronger
4. Mana/5 sec Spirit is always better than mp5
5. Intellect (really good stat in some situations it could be better most stats above)
