As for doing sad Holy Pally dps, I did use Denounce to help a little when the first, Jade Serpent (minus Annihilate dance) and final phases were going smoothly. Doubt it made a huge difference, but if I was to be waiting for the raid to take damage, might as well make myself usefu...
-when starting a holy paladin, the first stat you should care about is the holy intelect. Your talents are gonna take care of your cast times (1.8sec holy light if im right) and you’ll get enough crit from int (enough for 5mans, since thats what you’ll run as a fresh pally) ...
