Increased passive movement speed is still something we're avoiding for all Paladins, but both Beacon of Hope and Shield of Vengeance should be replaced in the next build you see. One with Divine Steed, which we like as a consistent classwide option, and one with a new talent.

As far as survivability: we are going to try an increase to total health on Holy, which should offset the risk of having multiple abilities that use your own health as a resource. We're also increasing the health minimum on Aura of Sacrifice, which should reduce its risk while having very little impact on its overall value.

Try experimenting more with Light of the Martyr with the fixes to mana cost and to the bugs causing it to deal extra damage (the latter should be in the next build). There could be room to increase the healing (likely in parallel with damage) if needed, but we've seen it show significant potential internally and want to test a fully working-as-intended version on alpha first.
