Holy Paladin Tier Set
2-Set: When Glimmer of Light dissipates or is refreshed, it creates a Holy Reverberation on its target to heal an ally or damage an enemy for over 8 seconds. Multiple Holy Reverberations may overlap, up to 6 times.
This is an excellent boost to our throughput and you shouldn’t be afraid of sacrificing your Aberrus 4 set bonus for it.
4-Set: Daybreak increases haste by 25% for 6 seconds and its cooldown is reduced by 15 seconds.
Since the cooldown reduction on Daybreak will misalign it from Divine Toll, you should spec into Quickened Invocation as soon as you get the 4 set bonus.

Embellishments
After heavy embellishment nerfs Allied Wristguard of Companionship is the best embellishment to craft for both raid and M+.
Elemental Lariat - as this item's power scales with the amount of gems you have socketed, it should be crafted later into the patch when you have more sockets.
DO NOT CRAFT Flourishing Dream Helm - it does not proc from AoE or Environmental damage
Keep in mind as well that the biggest power spike generally comes from crafting a weapon such as a Obsidian Seared Hexsword if you don’t already have a high ilvl weapon.
Mythic+/Damage focused
Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch is by far the best DPS Embellishment for Holy Paladin, and you would most likely run it in Mythic+. Keep in mind you can only use this embellishment on "Armor" pieces.
Holy Paladin Trinkets
Recommended trinkets
Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge - is the “Stat Trinket” of Amirdrassil. You can read about how it works here. It’s an excellent trinket for hpala, but it’s also coveted by many other specs. You’ll definitely be looking for this one every time you open your Vault.
Coagulated Genesaur Blood - a simple stat stick with INT and a Crit proc, great for both raiding and M+, this should definitely be one of your farming priorities.
Echoing Tyrstone the same trinket you’ve grown to love (or hate) during 10.1.5 is back. Not only is this a good trinket from a pure HPS standpoint but it also has the added advantage of being a dungeon drop, which means you don’t have to wait for it to show up in your Vault or bribe your guildmates during raid in order to get one.
Honorable mentions go to:
Sea Star - simple int proc trinket with a lot of versa which makes it quite good in M+.
Idol of the Life-Binder - JC crafted trinkets have gone largely ignored during Dragonflight, but with poor competition from both m+ and raid these are now a decent choice especially if you have a lot of sockets.
M + Only Trinkets:
Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart - will give you a massive boost to damage and survivability, essential if you’re looking to push higher keys.
Belor'relos, the Suncaller - a powerful pure damage trinket with baseline Intellect.
