Holy Paladin PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — 12.0.5

The stat priority for Holy Paladin in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect
2. Versatility
3. Mastery
4. Haste
5. Critical Strike

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the next best stat as it will increase the damage/healing you do and reduce the damage you take. This is followed up with Master. Holy Paladin Mastery ( Mastery: Lightbringer), when used with the Beacon of the Lightbringer Talent, is crucial for Holy Paladins in PvP.

In general, Holy Paladins want to get trinkets that line up well with Avenging Crusader or Avenging Wrath. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to increase are either Intellect or Versatility. You want to increase Versatility because it increases both your damage and healing. Intellect is great for increasing your overall healing output.
