I love Sheath of Light, but...

I'm new to beta, decided to try out the ret tree (have some decent gear to give it a go). I'm loving the sheath of light talent, actually enables me to gear for dmg and yet be capable of healing myself by leaps and bounds more than on Live. I'm wondering if its good enough to try a holy 48/0/23 spec. I'd end up giving up the beacon of light and judgments of the pure, but I'd be getting a lot of critical heals and applying the HoT effect of sheath of light, which seems worthwhile. Won't be able to try it out until the level cap is raised to 80, but was looking for opinions on the matter anyhow.

I put together a SoL Healadin build for the Nexus instance. It was pretty rewarding, especially since we had a boomkin in the party my crit rate was higher than it's ever been. For the most part I rarely even depleted my mana with the exception of a couple of boss fights, but then the new calculations for seal and judgment of wisdom are pretty favourable. Even more favourable when I was trying out the Ret spec. At level 70 I have to give up divine illumination and infusion of light, (apart from the rest of the holy tree). Before I get too off topic with new healing builds, I just want to say again, that I love sheath of light, it's a wonderful talent, that would appear to have applications for both Ret focused pallies and Holy pallies looking for an alternative build. I'm going to give a more holy tree focused build a try and I'll let folks know how that plays :)

Well they moved Sheath of Light to 41st to get, which is BS imo, why in the hell give one of the (imo) BEST paladin heal talents ever created to the damn dps spec of the class? i know QQ somewhere else.... But damn it irks me! I want this Talent for my Healbot, and was gonna give up beacon of light for it and didnt mind that Ret got it, becuase it was still accessable for healers too, just have to change it up a touch, now thats not possible. Blizz screwed us on this one imo.

They moved sheath off light far down into the ret tree, making a holy SoL build no longer viable

If you go through the beta forums, there are talks of 34/0/37 (heal spec) talents, similar to your 22/0/49 (DPS spec)I would say.
The reason this may work is that JotW returns 20% of yoru max mana, which means that you'll never run OOM and won't need Divine illumination at all.
