Another thing that I didn't see mentioned anywhere here is the shift IMO of secondary stats in 4.3. I'm currently at school ATM and can't check your pallies armory, but crit and mastery are having an amazing synergy in Dragon Soul. With the changes to judgement we require less spirit to be at the same regen we were at in FL. Also with Holy Radiance now, absorbtion bubbles form on whole raid and with the steady AOE damage in DS, are rarely wasted. Crit has also bumped up due to the increase in shields and healing and the required haste breakpoints for a new tick of radiance. I am currently running enough haste raid buffed to be at 2.0 cast speed and am focusing the rest in on crit and mastery, with a larger focus on mastery reforging out of spirit. Its something to recommend to your pally to try and maybe he'll see a throughput gain himself.
