What’s happening? Also can holy have spell warding 
Some one elaborate please. What’s wrong with it?

When you’re prot the button is grayed out until you spec out of it and back into it. Randomly happens over and over. It’s annoying.

More seriously though, holy is already to go to Paladin spec for the raid spot because of how strong and versatile it’s raid CD is.
And it has nothing to do with Devo, it stands on its own above other healers CD.
Why the hell should it get Blessing of Spellwarding? 
If they axe that CD and make is a generic Healing CD, maybe they could.
But having multiple spell breaking is kind of encounter breaking since most mechanic are magic and it would invalidate the difficulty or the design of specific fight.
They could make the mechanic impervious to it but then what’s the point of having it?
Just makes it confusing what does and what it doesn’t work on.
So no, it shouldn’t take away something that only Prot brings.
Yes

Oh finally you contribute something useful.
Pointless to bring up aura mastery but the other point is reasonable
It’s not pointless, that’s why the paladin spot is locked to holy.
The cd itself is so “clutch” it effectively makes it so that all other healers competes for 3 healer spot instead of 4, maybe even 2 with Disc bubble.
Ret and prot don’t compete with holy, they are only brought if they are genuinely part of the best performing specs in their respective role.
I’m sorry but asking for Holy to have more ammunition, especially ones that are unique other paladins spec, should come with the expectation that this specific CD would disappear.
“I don’t get a guaranteed spot, so holy shouldn’t either”
Not what I said.
Holy isn’t just blocking paladins, it’s blocking other healer, if you can’t see how that’s a problem I can’t help you understand.
No spec should have this type of hegemony on a raid spot.
To be fair its not us who did the that, its blizzard themselves.
And yes holy will probably be the only paladin brought to CE raids unless there is some use for spellwarding that prot could exploit. See how that works? If all tanks are the same and spellwarding is all a prot paladin has that is unique to them, then giving it to holy would just mean you dont need a prot paladin ever. The ssme goes if ret gets spellwarding
Aura mastery is blown out of proportions though. Last I checked with Warcraft logs mitigation feature you can see that 90% of holy paladin mitigation comes from the passive from devo, which all the specs can bring

That’s not what’s strong about it and you know it.
That’s the capacity to choose WHEN this mitigation occurs.
It lets you live through a hit that would otherwise kill you.
No amount of healing can let you go through something that would to more than 100% of your HP, AM can do that, so can Disc bubble.
Please provide example of a raid mechanic that would one shot and be unsurvivable without AM

Spirit link does more DR than aura mastery right now.
Spirit link and disc bubble requires you to be stacked where AM does not.
The constraint they impose seemingly warranting a greater effect.
Where as AM is more versatile in it’s use.
That being said, I wouldn’t be against this mechanic being more prevalent.
If more healers have this “raid wide” DR, it would devalue AM to a point where you’d ask yourself WHICH of the healer’s DR you want and that would open the door for other Paladin specs under the guise of needing Devo.
My vote would be on either Mistweaver or preservation evoker.
This is a pointless argument, beside its obvious strengths, if it was indeed overrated the competitive guilds wouldn’t be running them.
“Yeah we’re gonna race a bunch of other guilds to finish first but we’re gonna run with something that’s really kind of “meh” when you think about it”
No way.
Ret has BoSpellwarding but only in pvp, and using it gets you Forbearance AND puts BoP on CD for 4 or 5 minutes. Its a great spell that doesnt ward any spells that are CC. Wont harm me to let Holy have it in the Class tree. Raids a team effort, everyone should want everyone to be as powerful as possible. The only enemy is the raid boss.
If they want to give it to them in PVP, be my guest.
But taking away from Prot in a raid environment?
No thanks.
Spellwarding on Prot is at MOST 2 magic immunities on a raid and you’d be hard pressed to find groups with 2 Prot paladins, particularly this coming tier.
Accessible to holy? It jumps to 6 (more or less depending on roster number but Mythic wise it’s 6).
I don’t know at which point they consider this to be problematic but they considered it was problematic enough as to remove the option entirely from the class tree and give it as a PVP talent for ret instead.
Because yes, at some iteration for DF, Spellwarding was in the class tree.
Structurally it creates design restriction for fight encounters and class meta wise it invalidates Prot entirely from the discussion unless, as I stated before, it is objectively one of the best 2 tanks by a SIGNIFICANT margin.
I agree that holy doesn’t need spellwarding in PVE. It already has so much more utility compared to other healers.
For PVP? Sure.
