VT is is a crutch for them. They blow through content so quickly that

gearing up their MT and then bringing their DPS up to a point where
they can beat the enrage timers on the bosses. The healers are low
priority. When healers are actually being geared up properly, the
return from VT starts to drop a lot.

Probably the best assessment I've read about Nihilium's strategy.
Their objective was fastest progression, not gear or guild balance.
They swapped out half the team for some fights for very specific
roles. The fact that they went back to SSC and TK after clearing
Illidan to continue gearing up says volumes of what it took to get
there.

I've still switched from a holy priest to a holly paladin if only
because I like the versatility of the paladin more... but also it
seems that paladins are preferred for healing in general at the
moment.

Babe's comments about healing versatility being hard to account for
though are very accurate. 10 mans are chaotic enough, 25 mans must be
ludicrously confusing to coordinate when you're pushing new content.
Instant heals w/ fixed mana costs must make alot more sense to
coordinate than HoTs, Prayers of Mending and Lightwell*.

*okay, no one uses lightwell.
