So if your focus is Player versus Player and if we choose from the items above the most useful in PvP (those that give stamina, intellect, armor, healing), then your toon should look like this: Holy Paladin BiS 50-59 PvP.
If you’re PvE-oriented, then with my chosen recommended best items, you would look like this: Holy Paladin BiS 50-59 PvE.
