Best Race

Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, drop combat to drink, and remove yourself as the enemy's target. Extremely versatile defensive racial.

Will of the Forsaken removes Fear CC effects and puts your PvP Medallion on a 30 second cooldown. Essential against Warlock and Warrior compositions that rely on Fear effects.

Stat Priority
Haste > Versatility > Mastery: Grace > Critical Strike

Haste reduces cast times and GCD, providing faster healing response in emergencies and allowing you to get more casts off under pressure. Versatility increases your healing and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability as a healer. Mastery: Grace increases the effectiveness of your healing on targets affected by Atonement. This allows you to burst heal more effectively and funnel more damage to healing. Critical Strike is the lowest priority as Discipline relies more on consistent healing through Atonement rather than burst healing.
