It depends. What bracket of arenas are you playing in? If you are playing 2s, I would go for the typical 52/0/19 build, whereas if you are running 3's/5's and you have another healer running with you, I would go a bit farther down in ret for CC. I'd be willing to post some builds if you let me know what ya needed exactly. Good luck!

Many Palas use this kind of spec.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

You can get 2 in Holy Guidance instead of Pure of Heart, your choice

Personally I would use this spec to go full out healing and have your best blessings improved. Also you get Blessing of Kings into it (Improved) which can be good in some tight spots, when you need to max out life for survivaility.

I will take any improvements, because I am working on it aswell.
It has proved useful on privat servers, aswell as retail. My arena buddy (2's) is using it and has no complaints. In 3's there is a small problem, because of survivability and lack of CC-players. 5's again shows no real problems, if you use a good team, that knows how to CC and cut out players form the match for a short time.

I thought that Blessing of Kings "r poonage" in pvp?

That's atleast what I used in TBC for arenas and our team was like one of the best on the realm...

In arena your partners should probably have Blessing of Freedom or Sacrifice most of the time

[VoIDwAr]

depending on how you play the arena, you need different blessings.
here you have them all improved (also kings) so i hope this kinda helps.

It's actually Hand of Freedom/Sacrifice, nowadays. So buffs and those two go togheter.

A little versatility if you plan to do 2's 3' and 5's.

Idk, personally I played Holy/Ret (Replenish) 34/0/37 -- for the small fact of if you're playing with 2 burst classes That extra CC allows the trinket usage or even a gib - IN an example, if you use hammer on a pally with divine purpose for a Cc, he'll just freedom out (unless you stun in middle of a heal) Trinket may be used or.. repentence to force trinket, then hammer, regaurdless whatever class you're playing with 2's 3's 5's you need mana efficiency to assure you're not going oom when you're needed the most.
