Holy is the Healer specialization of the Priest in WoW: Forever. This page summarizes its talent tree as it appears in the beta client (build 1.60.1.69913); the role is the one stated by the Icy Veins guide for the specialization.
The class's three trees, with the talents the Icy Veins guide recommends at level 20 in colour and all the others in grey. The small number on the left of each row is the points you must have spent in the tree to reach it. Point counts are shown when the guide states them; otherwise only the talents are named. This section is fixed: it does not move and does not depend on the calculator.
This build draws from three trees: Discipline, Shadow and Holy. Icy Veins gives no point allocation.
Icy Veins (Discipline tree): the most critical talent to take as early as possible.
Icy Veins (Shadow tree): the second most important, less mana downtime.
Icy Veins: extremely useful solo and against AoE interruptions.
Icy Veins: remaining points go here for stronger healing.
In order of importance, according to Icy Veins.
What the Icy Veins guide lists for this specialization.
No source publishes a best-in-slot list or enchants for this specialization yet: the Icy Veins Forever guides only cover level 20 for now and do not detail them. The dungeon items below are ranked by rule from the stat priority and are not a best-in-slot list. This section will be filled when a source publishes them, with nothing invented on our side.

These are the deepest talents in the tree: they require 30 points already spent in the specialization. Official game text, at maximum rank.
Places a spell on the target that heals them for … the next time they take damage or receive non-periodic healing. When the heal occurs, Prayer of Mending jumps to a party or raid member within 20 yards. Jumps up to 5 times and lasts 30 sec after each jump. This spell can only be placed on one target at a time per caster.
Talents you take only once, with their tier (official text at maximum rank).
Causes an explosion of holy light around the caster, causing 27 Holy damage to all enemy targets within … yards and healing all party members within 10 yards for 51. These effects cause no threat.
Heals a friendly target and the caster for 247. Low threat.
Upon death, the priest becomes the Spirit of Redemption for 15 sec. The Spirit of Redemption cannot move, attack, be attacked or targeted by any spells or effects. While in this form the priest can cast any healing spell free of cost. When the effect ends, the priest dies.
