Personal preference.
K, moving on.
Priests are more versatile though, with discipline as a primarily tank healing spec, while holy is more raid healing oriented. Paladins just have their FLASHOFLIGHTFLASHOFLIGHTFLASHOFLIGHT spam.

Does Preist or pally do Better heals? I want to lvl a healer - not a shammy or druid tho - So its Priest vs pally - What should i choose?
All depends on what you want to do for healing...
Priest can raid heal and hit the MT or Ot
Paladins can assist the raids healers but NOTHING can touch them for MT healing
Except disc priests :)

ok ill give you a few hints
Priest: Discipline allows you to have the best tank healing, with Penance you can heal up to 20,000 if your geared right considering it shoots 3 balls of light healing a friendly target, you also can save they're lives with Pain Suppresion which reduces damage taken on the target.
Holy allows you to have the best raid healing moves, you have good AoE healing, with moves to save a raid member, Circle of Healing, Desprate Prayer that saves your life from being killed from a AoE move that nearly kills you, you get improved critical heals, a form that gives you 10 seconds to heal after death. and a Lightwell that characters can use when you are running out of mana, healing after killing a boss.
Paladin: Only healing spec is Holy, they allow you to increase how effective your helpful auras with your raid, you get a few instant heals, a big crit increases from talents, your Beacon of light is not only perfect for raid healing, it can also heal everyone within 60 yards of your beacon target. so if you have a critical heal on your beacon, everyone around the tank will get healed for as much as he did.
I'd recomend that you try out both classes and see which one is more suitable for you.

Beacon of Light only heals the person with the Beacon on them not the other way around.

I say pally, (cause that is what i am).
But really, there is no best healer, or else why would they make more than one healer?

Naw, more of a Power Word: Shield every 15 seconds, renewing Prayer of Mending as needed, keeping a rolling renew, penance everytime it's off cooldown, flash heals when nothing else is needed. Prayer of Healings or shields if the raid is taking heavy damage, greater heal from your borrowed time if the tank is taking heavy damage.
I'm not bashing paladins, although you're making me WANT to, just to be contradictory. My point is that paladin healing can be very dull. Flash of Light mania, with the occasional Holy light or MAYBE even a holy shock, a beacon if you're desperate, all of it equals out to paladin healing just not being that interesting. Some may like the simplicity though.

It's not simple though, and you're the one oversimplifying it. I know how Disc priests work (having healed end-game content with both classes) and both have their ups and downs, and neither is easier or harder than the other.

My point was not whether they're more complicated or not (Though unfortunately I rose to the bait), but only that priests are more versatile. Bah. And I'd rather just agree to disagree, I can already see this is going nowhere.
