I've recently been rolling with a prot healing spec for 2s, so my gems and enchants are very stam based. I plan to change to a deep holy with prot spec for 3s (with a warrior and dk) and I'm unsure of how my stat priorities will change. I calculated a loss of about 500 sp from losing the Touched by the Light talent with my current gear (not counting any gains in the holy tree)
Questions on gems:
Should I focus my blue gems around Int mp5 as I'm losing my refreshable undispellable divine plea or leave them as stam?
For Yellows gems I have been focusing on crit, but should I change them out for int now? I know int is boss for pve but I'm not sure how it is for pvp.
For reds I'm guessing I should just keep them sp for the most part.
Main thing is I'm not sure how much int I should be stacking, and if I should get the Divine Intellect or Holy Guidance talents.
As Prot spec I have avoided getting mp5 on gear, favoring the crit pieces from wintergrasp. Should this change as I go to a more traditional spec?
Here is the spec I am currently working with.

Thanks for any thoughts guys!

The best way to find out how your gear works out for you, is testing it.
There is too much personal playstyle involved, it also depends on how much your team mates can peel, how long the battles usually last etc etc...
As for the spec, aura mastery is a must imo. There are just many situations when you think "ok, this heal HAS to go trough", its really a tide-turning ability that can (and most likely, will) win you a game.
Also, i would drop imp. BoW (you're gonna use BoK in the 3s i suppose, esp with a cleave them that doesnt really have many peels but snares) and / or blessed hands (unless you want it for the +10% on sacrifice but meh) for pure of heart. Curse of tongues can be a pain in the ass, even with all the haste.
I would personally try something like:

(note that more then 4 points in spiritual focus is a waste: 54%+50% is 104% already, and you want conc. aura to be ready with aura mastery - most pvpers run with 130 spell pen anyways so the resist auras are meh).
