The best race for Holy Paladin PvP. Perception helps detect Rogues before they can open, and The Human Spirit provides extra mana regeneration.
Healing Power is your most important stat - the more you heal, the tankier your team is. Intellect scales with Holy Guidance for additional healing. Resilience provides crucial survivability since you'll often be the kill target. MP5 and Spirit help with mana longevity in longer matches. Hit rating comes entirely from Precision talent, so you don't need it on gear.
