There might be a thread about this, but I am in
love
with the new Flash of Light.
It's 26 more mana, but does so much more healing. I was surprised when I logged on my paladin that each of my Flash of Lights was hitting for 1700 instead of the regular 1350 range I had before. And Holy Shock too! Oh, I'm in heaven.... 6 second cool down!
Thank you, Blizzard.

By "shockadin" I assume you mean I use it for PvP and DPS purposes, but yes, this is a strict healing standpoint. I'm a Flash of Light spamming paladin. This makes me happy, because my heals do so much more than before, and I'm confident I'll do a bit better in instances now too.
I'll be honest, I really don't know the exact differences between shockadins and PvE healers, I know the fundamental ones, sort of, but yes, I'm just a healer.
BTW - Avenging Wrath is now 20% healing/damage and doesn't cause forbearance. Someone, please catch me as I'm about to faint.

Avenging Wrath increases
your
damage and healing by 20%. So it's changed from DPS burst/Tanking aggro burst, to Healing burst as well. Cast that along with one of those "+XXX" healing spellpower trinkets, and you'll see yourself healing through Enrages like a cake. And Bacon of Light of course. If you skip Bacon, burn in...the Void?
Also, I think FoL now receives 100% of your SP bonus...so, rejoice, paladins with 2k +healing. Those FoLs will heal for...2300+?

It is the single most awesome Healadins have, personal opinion (that's pretty well spread around).
Here's a quick example, because I assume you've read the description, and it's still vague to you.
Cast Bacon on your tank.
Heal anybody within 40 yards of the tank. They will get the heal normally.
Yes, but the tank will ALSO get the same heal.
What's even better is, you can toss multiple Bacons. Imagine 5man arena, where you Bacon everybody before the fight (free spells). Healing one of the party members will heal all 5. Niiiftyyy.

Beacon of Light
The target becomes a Beacon of Light to all targets within a 40 yard radius. Any heals you cast on those targets will also heal the Beacon for 100% of the amount healed.
Only one target can be the Beacon of Light at a time. Lasts 1 min.

The only objection I have to the
Bacon
of Light is its mana intensiveness. For such an awesome spell it's expected, but at 70 it's currently around 950 of my mana for one Bacon.
It does last for a minute though, so it's awesome.

They changed it :(
Just a beta build ago, my paladin healer was baconing everybody in the raid, effectively wasting his mana.

Paladins are crit healers, lots of your talents boost either your Holy, or your HL crit by a big deal. 11% on the top of my head.

Healing was increased a bunch, for me.
Reg flash went from: ~1500->~2050
Crit Flash: ~2300 -> 3100
HL reg: 4300 -> 5500
Crit HL: 6500 -> 8400
Way cheaper and faster Shocks are nice too.
Spec (43/0/18)
Plus an increase in crit chance by 8%.

I suppose these builds and the changes are supposed to completely balance out once we ding 80, so I'll enjoy it while I can... The idea with this patch was to set up for Wrath, so I can't imagine I'll still have such high heals once I'm 80 and doing 5-mans...
Whatever. It's uber while it lasts. Holy paladins rejoice.
