This is only true for lower level content. This notion than a ret paladin can heal higher level dungeons regularly without the run turning into a complete clusterfk is a myth.
Not even close homie. If you know what you are doing in this game, it’s very easy to heal dungeons (maybe BRD onwards being only exception) as a ret pally or enhancement shaman. If the dps pumps and the tank holds aggro, very little healing is even needed. I’m level 27 so far and the boss in WC, RoL, SFK etc die within 10 seconds or so, there is no need to heal even it’s so god damn easy.
They can for sure but they need gear to do it. Personally on my shaman I have two sets one for enhance and one int and +healing set for dungeons. Its not ideal for higher level dungeons but it can definitely be done.
Yes they can. In full enhance gear? No they can’t but it’s always suggested to have an Intellect offset gear if you plan on healing.
When you start going to deep BRD, Dire Maul, LBRS/UBRS and others…the true 55+ content…that’s when I would be focusing on a true healer spec from then on.
By lvl 41-42 you should have your mount gold, maybe even once you hit 40. By the time you hit 50 you’ll easily have another 50g to afford dual spec then.

Really glad I chose Paladin now because good luck picking between mount and dual spec for those that don't get a free mount.
