A lot of people assume that once you get this, a pally tank will never run OOM since they will be receiving heals a lot.
Well, truth be told: a pally tank in very good tanking gear doesn't take much damage from normal 5-man instancing mobs. They follow the guides posted up on WoW forums to rotate consecrate, holy shield, judgment of righteousness, etc, and end up going OOM anyways because the healing they received isn't enough to regenerate anything useful.
Fortunately, I have found a solution to this problem: The Threat Meter. Doing the above rotation if you are in good tanking gear in a regular 5-man is unbelievably overkill. When you start using a threat meter, simply make sure that your bar is always bigger than everyone elses, and eventually you will get a good handle on when you need to start producing more threat based on how quickly the mob is being killed.
For raid bosses, the forums are correct, though. You need to crank out as much threat as possible, and for those guys you will be receiving many heals.
