I have a
Draenei male holy pally (my only male toon) and I absolutely love healing with him! I leveled him ret through pvp (omg at low levels they rock at pvp and are SO much fun!!!!!). Then around level 60 I began doing the dungeons for about 10 levels or so.. then cata came out and I hated ret. Since my main at the time was a Disc/Holy Priest I already had some healing knowledge under my belt (and cata ruined priest healing for me), so I got a second spec on my pally and went holy. Haven't looked back since!
I kind of was spoiled though because my boyfriend is a tank, so I could either quest as holy or instance because I always have my pocket tank with me.
And, I so wanna snag your idea for the sigs you have. Been lusting after em for quite some time!
