Any Ideas on improvement?
ur spec isnt good to Arena... u need to be Disci to be good surviving in a arena... so respec 2 Disci and u cn heal well and dps a lttle
If you are looking for an arena only spec, you pretty much need to go 41/20/0. What you have to remember is that priests will almost always be the first target in arenas, so survivability trumps all else. This is why Discipline is such an amazing spec for arena, because it's all about mana efficiency and survivability.
Also, even if you do want to stay heavier holy, CoH is utterly useless in arena, it's range is too small and since you're all in the same group anyway, PoH is simply superior, but even then, it's only useful in 5v5 and only if your opponents are idiots and not focusing their DPS well.

Third time i link this spec! Enjoy!

I endorse the above spec. It gets all the key talents. I disagree with some of the points, but it's a very good place to start.
I cannot agree with the last spec posted. FOA, Silent Resolve is VERY useful in PVP, not because of threat reduction, but because it prevents buffs and debuffs from being dispelled. This saves you and costs your opponents time and mana.
Next, Enlightenment just isn't worth the points. 5% more Stamina, Intellect, and Spirit? If you have 10k Health and 10k Mana, you're talking about less than 500 more Health and Intellect. The spirit is virtually worthless since there's no Improved Divine Spirit and no Spiritual Guidance, so it's only a very slight improvement in MP5. Preventing your spells from getting dispelled is much better.
Also, why a damage talent like Holy Specialization? For healing, that effect is not very useful. You're much better off having points in Spell Warding or even Improved Healing.
