why aticipation insted of shield specialization ? just curious
if you are stacking healing gear only (aka wearing a dress), you won't have any STR to boost your shield block to begin with - id rather have more dodge/parry from the def than being able to block hardly anything at all to begin with.
if u use PvP set or T1 you can go for extra shield block however - either way you have to spend your points on something to get Imp HoJ

Pure holy paladins really leave something to be desired and actually lack quite a bit of utility in pvp and BG's. They become heal/dispell bots and thats all they are good for. The best spec to go for as a support paladin in pvp and bgs is holy reckadin. At least holy priests can do decent dps with smite, holy nova, pain dot if they got some spell power gear instead of just pure healing gear.
Most pvp fights are fast paced and dont last long. You dont need a massive mana pool and you don't need huge amounts of +healing power. Usually one or two well timed and well placed heals will save a fight if your cc classes are doing their job. You do a lot more dispelling than healing in pvp from my experience. The best part about being holy reckoning spec is that you can still provide some surprise burst dps and finish off low hp unsuspecting horde or help burst the EFC with a reckbomb. And you get to /lol at rogues and fury wars beating themselves down on your ret aura/blessing of sanctuary/holy shield while they stand in your consecration. There's a whole lot more utility and you can better stand your ground 1v1 against horde than as a pure healer yet still fill in as a very effective support role.
NOTE : THIS IS FOR PVP ONLY.
