leveling build help

I'm looking for a build that will help me level. I like doing dungeons so that must be accounted for. I think I'd like to level more as prot and maybe with some holy talents ( I will have in bank gear set for healing). Please tell the order of spending too.

I'm thinking I need to go for consecration first but I'm not sure what to get on the way there. Likely the strength talent and ISoR. Isn't SoR the main seal I will use and btw I need fast mh, no? I don't think I would need the +intel talent for 5 mans on the few times I'll be healing instead of tanking. I'm not sure how useful Spiritual Focus would be either, maybe in a big aoe pull solo I could heal myself with it? that could be just an occasional use tho. I don't think I want to aoe grind my way to 60. ISoR seems generally more worth it.

On the prot tree:

IDA or Toughness? Wont I use retri aura mainly? and normal aura should be good enough for 5 mans. Is toughness better only if you have good armor? it seems like I will only spend 2 points on these tho. Maybe I get guardian's favor but I will rarely use it and I think it's more for pvp.

so far im thinking http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#sxxzZVhdIxzgo not sure what else to unlock. I used to tank in older expansions with a paladin and iirc I went into 1 point improved judgement for my raid rotation but I don't remember it mattering much when leveling. ISoC or deflection? I'm thinking deflection. Does Benediction work? Id prefer it over IBoM.

I guess I start with holy, then go full prot and when Im done I will get the last retri talents.

Imp SoR will give you barely 1 holy damage per swing which is 0.3-0.5 Threat per swing (as tank) which is imo nothing to make this so valuable .

Anyway you want to level as what spec?

start with 11 Consecration and then go whatever spec you want to be.

(my personal recommend) go divine intellect + divine strength = consecration

Divine Intellect and Divine Strength scale with consumes/buffs and worth much more than 1 extra holy damage per swing on SoR for low lvl and 5 holy damage per swing on high lvl.

If you want to heal sometime then choose Spiritual Focus instead divine strength .

mainly prot kinda like this http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#sxxzZVhdIxzgoVoh I will heal in some groups with a 2nd set of gear when I cant get a spot as some other role. Not sure what to pick before getting consecration.

Unless you have Divine Favor , hybrids like that are not much efficient. Either Play prot or play holy

I currently play with http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#sE0zZVhxIxzVoV0L

If you want to be Both

i recommend you to try this :

p.s one-handed weapon specialization soon will give extra 10% dmg to SoR . 1 lesser reckoning point will not bite you for this addition.
