So, by avoiding gear with mp5 and stacking crit/haste, they're worried paladins will be overpowered? Sometimes I wonder if they realize paladins don't have any AE healing for Ulduar's massive AE fights, or maybe they just expect every raid to just bring one holy for the tank? It takes a lot of haste to be able to make a flash of light hit 5 people in one normal casting time...
We don't have a problem with paladins liking crit as a regen stat. It only gets to be a problem when the paladins refuse to ever use MP5 and get angry when it shows up on their plate. We balanced paladins around the assumption of having some MP5. If they have no MP5 then it is likely they are too powerful. The same thing would happen if we let say a mage stack all spellpower at the expense of Stamina.
As I said though, we need to see a few more guilds attempt hard modes to know how regen really stands. I agree with the players who say that people asserting that mana is infinite (for any healer) haven't tackled enough hard modes yet.
