whats the best offhand
Handbook of Obscure Remedies
Emblem of Heroism purchase
Filler until you get enough emblems
Also, as titanium spellshock ring is unique equip, what else is best for the other slot?
Signet of Hopeful Light
Exalted with Argent Crusade
What I want is the best gear available to a fresh 80 for starting to heal heroics.
If you've just started, grab any ilevel 187 rare item that looks like caster gear without hit.
Get a tailor to make you some
Frostsavage gear
and promptly replace it with whatever heroic drop you get that does better.
The items I listed were chosen based on how easy they are to obtain when having just reached 80. You should be able to get this gear fairly quickly and running the actual heroics will give you the rest of the gear you'll need to start raiding.
This actually isn't too far off from how I was when I just turned 80, and I was healing Heroic UP that same night. I wouldn't recommend doing the same thing unless you have a geared tank, but you should be able to just jump into heroics as soon as you ding 80.

I'd go with
Faces of Doom
in offhand all the way until Ulduar. I'll take the higher Int/Spi and crit instead of haste anyday.
Now that I think about it, that level 77 requirement confused me into thinking it was less. I see it now as being a much better off-hand for Discipline, and any Holy priest who wants extra crit.

That's the difference in approach.. i would prefer to get faster healz (keeping the party/raid alive) than gamble on the crit. Great for Disco but since the post was about (generic) holy, i'll stick with my original post :-) each to their own. both are good choices and depends on other gear...
For Holy, I'll agree with you. They already have big heals to begin with so getting them out faster is probably better than the chance to make them even bigger. Sadly, I can't say the same of Discipline that depends a whole lot more on crit.

I had crafted the whole Frostsavage set, the jewelcrafting pvp caster rings and necklace, as well as a Wispcloak. That was a bit crappy, but it helped me to start my first heroics, then I replaced almost everything with better drops.
