Holy PvP is pretty fun, I leveled from 77-80 healing AVs. I healed a nice amount of BGs at 80 and did a little bit of 2s as Holy. With that being said, I haven't healed it "all" so there will most likely be better posters than me. Basically what i've accumulated is this: Beacon yourself, SS yourself if you start getting hit much, and just FoL spam away (with the occasional Holy Shock to get somebody up). Probably not the best approach but it should do you good for BGs.
Resil: I don't know what specifically a holy pali would need in terms of amount of resil. But I'd imagine the phrase, " MOAR = BETTER," would come into play. But 1.1k should be enough for BGs and maybe 2s I'd imagine.
Talents: I know you said your talent spec was for PvE, but in case you are wanting to make one for PvP maybe look into Blessed Life and Aura Mastery. Blessed Life would help when you get jumped and your SS isn't cutting it. Aura Mastery would help for that kinda situation too. (Aura Mastery + Concentration Aura would allow you to heal w/o gettin slowed down for about 6 seconds.)
Glyphs: Maybe try taking out that Holy Light glyph for the FoL one or the Holy Shock one. You'll be casting more Flashs of light than Holy Lights in BGs I'm pretty sure. And the decreased cooldown on a nice lil "Oh snap" button is nice.
Gear: PvP gear choice is much much easier than PvE, but gem wise I'd say stick with the +int gems.
Other: Just a tip, if your ever in a big fight in a BG (like say the bridge fights in AV), don't be afraid to pop bubble then Divine Sacrifice. I know they just changed it but i'm sure its still very effective. Other than that you've got the idea.
I know I'll most likely be corrected multiple times by other posters but this is just my 2 cents according to my experience as Holy in PvP.

You know I asked this question about a week ago and there's NADA out there. No guides, no stickies, no FAQs that are up to date. So I took someone's advice and visited sk-gaming.com and looked up the top Holy Paladins on all the servers.
Here's the site:
SK-Gaming for Holy Paladins
I took a look at their gear, their spec, and glyphs as well. I made a custom profile for my paladin, something to strive for. Here he is:
Cecil Holy PvP Paladin
I would aim for the following stats:
25k+ health
1000+ Resiliance
25k+ SP
Decent Mana pool
I think the jist of it is to mainly cast FoL, with Beacon on your dps'ers. This is strictly theorycraft from my point of view, and with Arenas in mind. It's hard to get a Holy Light off in PvP, even in BGs, especially in Arenas. So you should bump up your SP so your FoL's + the SS HoTs do a considerable amount of healing. Quick casts, you don't need that much mana as FoL is pretty cheap. Use Holy Shock as an emergency heal and basically stay outta LoS of casters.
You should have enough Resilience to survive FF not counting your DS. You should also have enough health to not be considered squishy. This is just what I put together with the little research I've done. There doesn't seem to be much info out there about Holy Paladin PvP for some reason. Someone should make a guide.

I think you have a pretty PvP oriented build. I think most of the top Arena Holy Paladins take the cleanse talents because they constantly use it. Also they take the
Glyph of Salvation
for the 20% additional damage reduction. For BGs you may or may not find yourself cleansing everyone due to the size of the battles. I think you'll get more bang if you up your SP and throw FoL's everywhere.
