I would make a list of your current gear and prioritize it from least to most valuable. Consider replacing the weakest parts of your gear but not necessarily the lowest value if you know bosses you can beat have a chance at upgrades. If you really are in serious raiding mode then Valor points shouldn't be that hard to build up. Make a calculated choice but don't be afraid to spend.

I have the same concern as you. I checked all the piece and all the raid boss we're currently downing, and I can get chest and shoulders that are better on side-grade to the T11.... so I'm not sure I should spend VP on it.
On the other hands, if I don't spend JP to upgrade, I never will. So I just checked my gear and took the biggest upgrade at the time (the Eternal Pathfinder boot) and I'm happy with it. I'll probably buy the biggest upgrade next too (I'm back at 850 VP). Wich is probably gonna be the trinket or the ring. The set bonus is so-so IMO. Although the 1620 spirit is nice on HR, I'm not sure the T11 is good enough to make me want to have 4 pieces.
So yeah, just take the best ugprade and don't overthink it I think :/

The cloak is kind of nice, but you can get about the equivalent with the Vicious cloak. Of course, it have resilience and his a PvP cloak, but the stats on it are wortwhile.

I would go with Relic and Trinket, thats what I did.
And btw, the legs dropping from Halfus is GREAT instead of the one from argaloth!

Get relic of eonar its the best relic we holy paladins can get. As for other items - duh. Seriously - the only good thing is tier11 legs, and even those can be quite easily replaced in raid. I say, forget about T11 for now, all that mastery isnt worth. The same goes with back - mastery? Again? Really? No. And spirit ring with... mastery? CMON! No. Int trinket? Oh wait its on use? Dont know how about you but i dont like "on use" trinkets. And there is a bunch more others trinkets to get, even betters. Trinket from archeology, darkmoon card, trinket from cho'gall, trinket from maloriak, new alchemy stone (in patch).
So my advice: Get Relic of Eonar, and then buy boe boots for valors and sell them! Its 15k+ on my server. And with that money buy whatever you want.

Well, "on use" 1700 spirit is kind of nice since you have more control on when you want your mana regen to pop. I'm already using the Corrupted Egg Shell trinket, so it's gonna be the same for me, but more reliable and with a 321 intellect bonus. The trinket from archeology also have an "on use" btw, wich make it powerfull. I don't remember the theorycrafting, but I think by popping it every CD you have around ~5-6k more mana every 2 minutes. I think I'll try to get the Core of Ripeness trinket + Darkmoon Card : Tsunami... if price ever drop.
Boots on my server don't sell tho. I bought them in the first week we could buy something with VP if you did all your daily + BH and I've spammed trade for about 2 days. Got a tons of ridiculous offer like ~4-5k, one at 13k, but nothing like the 20-25k I demanded for it (remember, it was about 3 weeks ago, when most of the community wasn't raiding back then, and most only started heroics).
I'll try to get the Relic. I don't think it's much of an upgrade tho, that's why I didnt buy it so far.

Int trinket? Oh wait its on use? Dont know how about you but i dont like "on use" trinkets. And there is a bunch more others trinkets to get, even betters. Trinket from
archeology
, darkmoon card, trinket from
cho'gall
, trinket from maloriak, new
alchemy stone
(in patch).
That's not a very exhaustive list of other possible trinkets. Archaeology is RNG enough (and the trinket is rare enough) that you could end up farming that into 4.1. The alchemy stone is obviously not applicable to most holy paladins, and cho'gall? Assuming we're talking about the first few things to buy with VP, we're basically talking about pre-raid, or at least pre- last non-heroic boss of the expansion so far.
As for on use:
Step 1) Configure addon to show cooldowns/show big angry pop up when trinket is off cooldown/just pay attention to trinket button on action bars.
Step 2) ?
Step 3) Profit.
That trinket is perfect. It was my first purchase.

If you dont buy this uber trinket just because you dont like to use items, then you probably dont have to worry much about getting the best gear possible - just buy what you like.

I have Jar of Ancient Remedies and Im an alchemist, so ill go for int alchemy stone (I use mana potions or potions of concentration on every boss). Tyrande's Favorite Doll is the last rare i miss from elves, so next time i proc rare it will be this doll, my group is close killing Cho'gall and I have eneugh money to buy darkmoon trinket. There is no way im buying valor trinket. (but I understand others dont have to be this lucky)
Too bad those boots dont sell on your server, on mine (Drak'Thul) you constantly see spams like "WTB valor boots 15-20k".
Yep that relic isnt "that" much better than blue from heroic, but its the very best. There are no relics dropping in raid + its cheap, so why not? It was my first epic in cata.

I'll definately get it, but seeing as how we're only downing 3-4 raid boss / week (so 70x4 = 280 vp / week + 70 every day from daily (and I miss some of them often) I only have ~600-650 VP / week. Considering the relic is 700 for only some minor stats upgrade, I prefer priorizing better upgrade for now.
For now, what I think I'll do is just save enough VP for my trinket (I think I'm around 1000VP right now), then see if I can get something else usefull like the cloak or the ring, and if not, I'll get the relic.

On my server there is a lot of WTS, but no WTB : (
