Roughly 1600 Spirit, avoid crit, try and be at 10%+ buffed haste, push Int as high as you can Int gems or Int/x everywhere, mastery is good but as always focus on regen until it is not an issue.
That would be my advice but someone else may know better.
Yeah, I'm okay with stat priority, I'm looking for cold hard numbers. Like in Wrath, I didn't attempt a heroic until I had 1500spellpower and 15k mana. That kind of thing. It's an aribitrary bar, largely, but I feel more confident if I've drawn a line like that. The 1600 spirit suggestion helps, thanks.
I prioritize stats like so for Holy:
1. Intellect is your meat, potatoes, AND pie.
2. Spirit until you're fine with mana, which you'll pretty much never be, so Spirit.
3. Mastery
4. Haste
5. Reforge Crit to Spirit or Mastery as the piece dictates. Usually that will be Mastery since Spirit should be on all healing gear, but when it's so early that you're still working with quest rewards and rep gear, that's not always perfect. Reforging rule number one at this stage is to make sure every piece has at least some Spirit.
So I think you and I only disagree on the Mastery/Haste order, which at this point isn't that important, since this early on collecting enough of the main stats will take precedence over fine tuning the secondary ones.
Side note, I love how cheap reforging is. I'm sure it'll get a lot more expensive as the iLevels get higher, but I like that I can just reforge a quest reward I'll only be wearing for one night, because why not?
