Holy pally vs resto shaman pvp healing @ 85

[Lythex1]

hi again guys, so i have a lvl 82 pally atm who i've been leveling thru BGs as holy and gotta say im having a blast with. but i also have a lvl 85 shaman who i really enjoy healing with too. my quest is what are the pro's and con's of both? I'm leaning more towards the pally due to the fact of its off specs and i can have some fun screwing around with being a shockadin for shits and giggles. but i really enjoy all the heals from the shaman, the hots and direct heals + earth shield are all amazing.

i'm looking for opinions on which one would be the best for healing BGs. I want a healer that would make it so my team mates never die ( or keep them alive as long as i can) and also keep myself alive in crazy oh shit moments.

Sham for best survivability, paladin for dmg assistance and bubble.

Staying alive vs a dps easily.
Shaman is very strong with their cds
Very strong overtime heal totmes
Strong Es/hots
Purge is more amazing then usual cause buffs/magic procs is so much more powerful
But meeting a team without good things to purge makes it obviously worthless
BUT Pretty Hex can easily be countered + it's long CD(compared to pala anyway)

Paladin cds for countering big bursts is amazing
Bubble to screw up the cds for double dps team
CC is alot better then Shamans
assist dmg is better

But to cc a paladin without hots wont happen with a shaman
I kill paladins on my warrior easier then shamans

= I think if you make a choice from this + what you wanna play the most, will be the best

My personal opinion is go for Shaman.

Recently i've been doing a lot of 2v2 @ 85 and I find it more difficult to beat teams with a Resto shaman than Paladins.

Though, at what MMR is this?
