mp5 vs illumination

I personally don't find mp5 worthless, but I don't think anyone can really argue that it's close to as good as crit. Perhaps if they adjusted the point value of mp5 on gear? If they can make Illumination work off spirit, why not make it work off mp5? Whatever they do, it's going to involve some item changes.

"MP5, with current allocation percentages, is worthless for holy paladins."

Yes, that is exactly what I said. You are saying you’ll just use the shaman gear. Why? Because you don’t care about the mana regen. Why? Because your mana regen is so good based on things like Illumination that mana regen stats are not attractive. That doesn’t mean we stop putting regen stats on plate. That means we nerf Illumination. An even better solution would be to get rid of MP5 and make Illumination return mana based on your spirit. Now not only do you want a regen stat, but you want the same stat that other healers want.
