This guide is strictly made for 8.0 and will be updated in future patches. But without further introduction lets get into the guide. This guide will not include grandfathered items.
To start we will be covering the best in slot set.
Helmet: [Overlord's Helmet of Second Sight] https://www.wowhead.com/item=31105/overlords-helmet-of-second-sight

Chestpiece: [Warharness of Reckless Fury] https://www.wowhead.com/item=34215/warharness-of-reckless-fury
Bracers:[ Bladespire Warbands] https://www.wowhead.com/item=28795/bladespire-warbands
Hands: [Gauntlets of the Soothed soul] https://www.wowhead.com/item=34240/gauntlets-of-the-soothed-soul
Belt: [Red Belt of Battle] https://www.wowhead.com/item=30032/red-belt-of-battle
Legs: [Felfury Legplates] https://www.wowhead.com/item=34180/felfury-legplates
Boots: [Dreadboots of the Legion] https://www.wowhead.com/item=32345/dreadboots-of-the-legion
Ring #1: [Bloodstone band] https://www.wowhead.com/item=42336/bloodstone-band
Ring #2: [Stormrage Signet Ring] https://www.wowhead.com/item=32497/stormrage-signet-ring
Trinket #1: [Dragonspine Trophy] https://www.wowhead.com/item=28830/dragonspine-trophy
Trinket #2: [Figurine - Nightseye Panther] https://www.wowhead.com/item=24128/figurine-nightseye-panther
Weapon 2 handed: [Apoloyon. the Soul-Render] https://www.wowhead.com/item=34247/apolyon-the-soul-render
Talents. These are going to be your BIS Talents in pvp and pve.
Level 15
[ [Execution sentence]
You are going to want to go with Execution sentence. If you are not already familiar with what Execution Sentence does it basically hits the enemy for 1,118 damage and gives a debuff for 20 seconds that gives you 20% more holy damage towards the enemy it is currently on.
Level 30
[Blade of Wrath]
You are going to want to go with Blade of Wrath. You want to go with Blade of Wrath because when the proc called Art of War procs on that ability it resets the cooldown of blade of justice and gives it 25% more damage.
Level 45
[Repentance] [Blinding light]
Now as you've noticed i have given the option of Repentance or Blinding light this talent choice is mostly situational, 90% of the time I chose to use Blinding light but Repentance is best and mostly only used in 3s games and in some games of 2s but more or less you will be using Blinding light.
Level 60
[Wake of ashes]
This choice blatantly clear. Wake of ashes is obviously the superior choice rather than any of the 2 talents. Wake of ashes is superior because of its base damage and it also gives full holy power on cast even without hitting your opponent so it makes for some pretty nice combos whenever you are bursting.
Player vs Player talents.
#1 Gladiators medalion
#2 Seraphim's Blessing
I have chosen Seraphim's Blessing because of the low health you will have with the gear combination a Flash of Light will almost always instantly heal you like lay on hands, but with this talent if you drop down to 40% you will get an instant flash of light thus full healing you.
#3 Hammer of Reckoning
I chose Hammer of Reckoning as my third pvp talent because of the fact that it does a high damaging base hit but it also if you have been able to proc it you will recieve 6 seconds of Avenging Wrath.
Damage Rotation.
Judgement.
Blade of Justice.
Crusader strike x1
Execution sentence
---------------------
Judgement
Blade of Justice
