Lesson 2: Raiding as your PvP spec to save gold
1. Use only Flash of Light (make sure to have a low rank FOL bound during raid times)
2. Blow GRID up huge and plop it in the middle of your screen. Make it big so you can see any small loss of HP and top everyone off so you can rise in the heal meters while everyone is sitting around. Keep a keen eye on the warlocks so you can top off any of their lifetapping.
3. DO NOT BRING MANA POTS! You may be tempted to bring mana pots to make up for not having Illumination+Holy Power, and Divine Intellect-- but you are not switching specs to save gold! So don't waste gold on consumables.
I recommend making a list of non-warlock casters in your guild and rotate through the list each raid asking them for pots because you "forgot yours in the bank." Occasionally one will ask you to pay them back in pots. If they are persistent and start to threaten your under the radar approach to raiding, just pay them back. Since these persistent people are in the minority, you'll have saved in the long run still.
4. If you can't pad your healing meters enough and get called out, click off your buffs and blame the mages and priests. If this doesn't work, say you were farming gold with some DPS gear on and forgot to get your full healing set out of the bank. I recommend having a DressingRoom setting for this fake dilemma in case someone tries to inspect you to verify your story. If they ask you to prove your spec by casting divine favor or holy shock, you "just used it" and it is "on cooldown."
5. Make friends with a druid. If your guild has a useless feral druid, he, also being a useless raid spec, is your natural friend. Ask him for winnervates and in exchange be sure to Greater BoM the druids so he loves you.
6. Become adept at not dying during raid encounters. The PvEbads will die a lot because they stand in fire. This way you can gain an edge on them in the meters.
7. ALWAYS SCAPEGOAT THE PRIESTS. This may be the most important step to learning how to raid as prot or, if you are awfulbad, ret. Priests have the big heals to keep the important members of the raid alive. If the tank dies, you can blame the priests. If the DPS isn't fast enough, you can blame the DPS. If the raid starts dying from other stuff, you can blame the raid members for not knowing the encounter.
A good paladin knows how to walk the thin line between being too insignificant to blame but not insignificant enough to not give gear to. (Padding healing meters helps enormously with this.)
