Currently level 49 and trying out holy and liking it, I’ve decided that I really like the play style of using blessing of might, and then seal of righteous on mobs that are judged with wisdom instead of using blessing of wisdom. I’m going to link below my planned talents up to 60 and just wanted to get people’s thoughts on them. And to clarify it will mainly be for solo fun and 5 people instances, I don’t think I have the time for raiding these days. Thanks.

If you want to maximize your damage then I would skip the Divine Strenght talents and put those 5 points into improved seal of righteousness if you are going to farm with a 1h+shield set up.
If you want to go with a 2h then try to get to seal of command, but I would suggest you to save enough points for BoK and you can’t have both.
I think improving seal of righteousness (SoR) is never worth those 5 points. The dmg improvements is very small.
Having more intellect and no cast push back is pretty solid for all kind of paladins.
SoR scales well with spellpower. Rank3 is somehow the best scaling rank, that means if you have around 200 spellpower, rank3 does the same dmg as rank6. Everything above 200 spellpower makes rank3 the best rank.
Use a fast weapon. The lvl42 epic flurry axe is one of the best weapons in the game for holy dmg paladins.
Now for leveling, it’s not really possible to get good spellpower gear.
I recommend leveling as prot-holy paladin because you can aoe grind. Sorrow hill in western plague lands is ideal for your level and you can pull 12 mobs at the same time if you want and bomb them down.
The cool thing about paladins is also the fact that you don’t have to pay for your mount at lvl40. That means Paladins are intended to be rich and wealthy. Use that gold on the AH so you can level in the finest gear with the best enchants. It’s the luxury every paladin deserves.
I didn’t mean him to lose int nor the pushback resistance, I was talking about the +Stre ones if he is going to level up with a 1h+shield. The block improvements aren’t really much and even if small, more damage on the judgement has its advantages.
Also don’t use your gold for items from AH, just do dungeons/quests for them. There are a good chunk of drops depending on your weapon/shield choice (which is the main tool for leveling as a melee).
as pala u really only need to buy 2 items, demon forged breastplate and skullflame shield, and both of those are expensive items for aoe farming/tanking/pvp. if u intent of staying holy u literally wont need to buy any items from ah ever
