I read Bodhi's thread about the new deal with 3.2. Last night in Nax25 and Nax10 i was 3rd and 2nd on heals respectively with some people more geared than I (don't laugh at the druid gear, it was better than quest greens!) Also, my neck is showing up as a dps caster piece from OS 10 when I replaced it with an actual healing neck in Nax last night.

So what were the changes made to Beacon? It seems the same to me. Last night we didn't really have any healing assignments, so I just kept beacon and SS on the tank and spam FoL'd on raid, and during things like Patch i just kept SS on one tank and beacon on the other and did FoL with the occasional HS if there was a spike.
-Should I be putting SS and beacon on the same target? I don't know if my FoLs on other targets proc the 12 second HoT on the Beacon even if they have SS.
-Something weird is going on with my heals, because sometimes I crit flash for 2800, and sometimes 4800. My holy lights only heal about 9k crit, but during Razuv while our tanks were sucking at taunting, I was popping AW and my Winged Talisman and critting 16-18k if I remember correctly. (This isn't due to the fact that a crit heal on a beacon target can crit twice.)
-Has anyone else noticed Infusion of Light not proccing all the time? It only happened 50% or so of my crit HS.
-My holy shocks have also been critting 2800 and 4800.
-I will have to test this, but it seemed like all of my heals were crit heals when compared to 3.1. I went an entire boss fight where every heal crit if I remember correctly.
-Did holy pallies receive a nerf, a buff, or just a change in utility? It is too early in the patch for me to know because I was healing with different healers than usual, but it seemed like my heals went up and my mana conservation went up even though all my heals are doing way less.
-On a different note, why the heck does all the 3.2 plate dps gear have arpen? Even the t9 chest for ret pallies has arpen, and I thought that crit/haste/str are much better stats.
