holy is ranged, so easier to play, dmg is very very close to melee but survability much higher, also with holy you can tank.
Dmg is very very close?
not sure what game u play...but melee pala does 3x more dmg than holy. and rubies dont change anything about the suvability for both specs, since melee can take pretty much same tanking rubies and do shitloads more of dps.
pls dont give ppl tips about classes that you have no clue of.. only reason holy takes less dmg is because u will mostlikely use shield and that gives u more ressistances...but u can do same in melee build and dps with 1 hander...and u will still do more dps and take same dmg.
this patch melee is 3x better than holy in general,,,better tank...better dpsers...better all...but as soon as we get patch 6.0.1.30 ...melee pala will get nerfd alot so paladins will go back to holy for tanking in astral while in raids they wont do alot more dps than other classes.
