How much Int is too much Int

Those people are crazy. Intellect is an extremely nice stat for a holy pally no doubt, but taking 16 intellect over 30 spellpower is stupid, and so is having a 34k mana pool.
Do you actually understand what you're talking about? It's stupid to gear for over-healing, i.e. gemming and enchanting for spell power over intellect. It's stupid to gem for throughput - haste - if your mana pool can't stand up to it. Stacking intellect is just mathematically superior to the alternatives.
Are you seriously arguing that 16 intellect is superior to 30 spellpower?
Yes, at a certain gear level it is; similarly, the +30 intellect weapon enchant is better than 63 spell power, at a certain gear level. What you don't understand is that Paladins simply don't need excessive amounts of spell power. Past a certain point all the additional spell power is doing is over-healing, which is pretty pointless.
Should 16 intellect be better than 30 spell power? No - see Quest's post. Blizzard probably messed up. Nevertheless, the fact remains that it is better, or at the very least, competitive. Ultimately, there is enough variability in the game to make it more or less a personal choice: you can heal perfectly well with either enchant, and most people won't ostracise you for choosing one over the other. For true min-maxing, however, there is a right answer, and it isn't necessarily the bigger number.
In this case.. the bigger # IS the right answer.
If you end the fight with mana.. you could've spend some item points on throughput.
My recommendation is once you get to where you end fights with a considerable ammount of mana left.... regem for socket bonuses.
Edit:
I already gem for bonuses.
The content i am able to run doesn't require more than what I can do . Hence balance is the right way to go.
Your mileage may vary.

There is a pally on my server who has 37k unbuffed mana. There is no such thing as too much int.

If you put the tear in the helm instead of the glove you can gain 9 SP.
