Holy is the Healer specialization of the Priest in WoW: Forever. This page summarizes its talent tree as it appears in the game client (build 1.60.1.70753); the role is the one stated by the Icy Veins guide for the specialization.
The simulator does not rank healers yet, so we show no figure for Holy Priest. The guide gives the talent build, the rotation read from the client's numbers and the stat priorities.
Our simulator's build uses 51 points, split Discipline 20 / Holy 31. Open this build in the talent calculator →
There is no simulated gear list for healers: the simulator does not model healing over a full fight yet. Stat priority: Healing Power > Mp5 > Spirit. Full gear and enchantments →
Opening: Prayer of Mending on cooldown (10 s cooldown): a bouncing heal for 390 mana ; Renew on the tank and anyone taking steady damage: it is the most efficient heal (3.35 healing per mana, instant) ; Greater Heal as the main heal (3.18 per mana, 753 healing per second on a 3 s cast); Heal (4 s, 3.24) only when nothing is pressing. Full rotation →
The first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level up to 51 at level 60. The guide gives the talent order step by step (derived from the level-60 build, not tested while leveling), the dungeons of each level band and the spec's best item in each. See the leveling →
Our dungeon finder shows, for every dungeon, the best item for this spec according to the simulator's stat weights. Best dungeon items →
Level-60 healing build (51 points) put together by BrokenMeta from the talent descriptions: the simulator does not model healing yet, so this build is not simulated.
The class's three trees, with the talents of the level-60 build (51 points) 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, and each talent's badge shows the points invested. This section is fixed: it does not move and does not depend on the calculator.

The first talent point comes at level 10, then one per level: 1 point at level 10, 11 at level 20, 21 at level 30, 31 at level 40, 41 at level 50 and 51 at level 60. A row of a tree opens for every 5 points spent in that tree.
Derived order: the simulator does not rank healers, so the order follows the rows of the tree, top to bottom, from the level-60 build. It was not tested while leveling a character: it is a starting point, to be revisited with the released game's data.
Levels 1 to 9: no talent point yet, the first one comes at level 10.

In order of importance, according to Icy Veins (level 30).
Healing is not simulated in combat. This rotation is derived from the client numbers (base heal, healing-power coefficient, mana, cast time) at 350 healing power and without talents: it gives an efficiency order, not a simulation result.
Healing is not simulated yet: this is the healing rotation Icy Veins recommends (level 30), reworded.
Agreed with Icy Veins: Greater Heal or Heal for the bulk, Renew against steady damage, Flash Heal kept for emergencies (it costs more mana for less healing). The client numbers add the efficiency order (Renew, Heal, Greater Heal, Flash Heal), the value of Binding Heal on two targets and of Prayer of Mending, which the guide does not quantify. Computed without a combat simulation, at 350 healing power and without talents.

Healing is not simulated: these are the client consumables that raise healing, intellect, spirit or mana.
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.

Talent data comes from the game client. The level-60 build, gear, stats and rotation come from our simulator and are validated by DPS measurements; the rotation is compared with the Icy Veins guides, written before launch for level 30. Healing is not simulated. This data will change with future patches.
