Pre-Heroic Gear:
This list contains items you should try to get before heading in heroics as a holy paladin. These items are easily obtained through reputation, drops, quests or can be bought (no profession specific items). The minimum ilvl on this list will be 325 and up. I've added Justice Points rewards as well due to the fact you couldve saved up some during WotLK.
This list is solely based on my own thoughts and experiences. Suggestions or bug reports can be done in this thread as well and I'll try to fix it asap.

Aren't there JP vendor L85 items that would be better?

I assume that JP items are considered "heroic" items.
That being said:
Bracers of Umbral Mending
Furybound Waistplate
Captain Hadan's Pauldrons
Legguards of Noon
Repository Gauntlets
Drystone Greaves
Peacemaker's Breastplate
I would not worry about pre-heroic gear since most of them, as can be seen above, are drops, with random chances to get them.

Why? You can get JPs from random dungeons, can't you?
By definition, that's pre-heroic.

Hence the " "
Though apparently that's not the OP meant.

70 a day.
Alternatively get 4 buddies and go do all WotLK HCs. They still give JP and far quicker to do than the new heroics. Hell go with 4 DPS and 1 healer, 100k HP pools means I doubt a tank is needed at all.
Except that you cant random into LK Heroics after 82...and the alternative implies you've found the four nicest, most patient people on your server who are willing to run/fly all over Northrend...instead of just waiting until said people (who, if they are of such temperament, have probably learned to be decent at their classes) hit 85 and the gear level req. and spamming Cata Heroics which Blizz said would give significantly more JP than LK Heroics.

Gauntlets don't go on your waist I'm afraid.
That being said, the wrist section is a bit lacking, not your fault, just... lacking:
Soulheart Bindings
Muffled Bracers
Weapon-Bearer Bracers
are all reasonable pre-heroic loot.

You can add
Diamant's Ring of Temperance
to the rings.
It only requires Revered with Therazane. You almost get that just by completing the Quests in Deepholm. And even if you don't, you have 6 (or 7) dailies at Honored you can do.

Tear of Blood
This makes a better healing trinket then
Gale of Shadows
and
Corrupted Egg Shell
. Best case scenario it procs every 45 seconds, you don't need to actively use it, and you don't risk losing some of the mana regen like you would with the egg, unless it procs at 100% mana.

Except that's heroic.
Tear of Blood

I don't see how that's better'n the egg shell?
Assuming we're talking about the normal version (1290 Spi), and assuming you get the proc once a minute (assuming 45 ICD), that's 322.5 Spi average.
Assuming you place the Corrupted Egg Shell on yourself (because ~5k damage is worth less than ~3000 mana) it gives you an average of ~350 MP5.
Of course, if the time is shorter than 2 minutes, the effective MP5 will be increased.
Say, one minute, and it'll be 700 MP5, but I'll take the Tear of Blood for longer fights.

I don't have time to work the math at the moment (I will once I find the appropriate equation for spirit, most online resources are wayyy out of date), but here's the logic.
1710 spirit for 15 seconds every 45 seconds + 285 intellect which provides 4275 mana to your mana pool.
This improves how much mana you get back from replenishment, which also augments much more mana your spirit regenerates. Do not forget you will gain an extra 641.25 mana for each Divine Plea every two minutes (4275 * 0.15). This number is before raid buffs.
Both the intellect and spirit bonuses are affected by raid buffs, which further improve replenishment regen and base mana pool.
All of this is guaranteed without having to activate the Egg trinket, which occurs every two minutes, and the mana gained is directly affected by raid damage to the targeted player.
This is why Tear of Blood would be my trinket of choice.
Currently my Holy Light heals for slightly over the 5K that the egg shell procs for, so I'd consider it saving 2200 mana from a HL cast, in addition to the MP5 and Mana boost. That's even better for the shell.
That's true if all of our heals had a mana cost. They don't. A Word of Glory with 1 Holy Power currently heals for more than the trinket is worth for me. A Light of Dawn with any amount of Holy Power is worth much more than the Egg's damage shield. Go for the heroic Tear of Blood, fire and forget.
Edit: If someone can point me towards the proper math regarding all aspects of spirit and the relationship between intellect and spirit, it would be appreciated. It will be useful in updating my intellect thread for holy paladins.
