Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them: They seem suitable for raiding but if you have any critical feedback please feel free. Some will be changed depending on bosses.
How do you prioritize your stats and why? Intellect is obviously the main priority followed by crit as a holy paladin as critical hits on holy shock provide a buff for my next Holy Light and Flash of Light. After that mastery as it increases healing based on proximity to my healing target.
What do you think about Artifact and how important it is for your spec (traits etc)? Very important, always on that AP grind...
Where do you acquire knowledge about your Class? Icy Veins, Youtube videos, MMO Champ forums and various other sources. The more the merrier.

Link to your raid logs using using [url]LINK[/url].: I don't have any as I've not raided since the Firelands in Cataclysm, I've only been back in WoW for 30 days and in that time I've got to lvl 110 and the gear you can see, so I'm progressing fairly quickly.
Raiding History:
Describe your previous/current raiding experience: Previously raided in a couple of top 1k guilds in the world.
Tell us about your previous guilds and your reasons for leaving them: I was in Umbrage in 2010 and left as progression was slowing. I was playing in The Lumberjacks back on Alliance in 2011 and left because I needed to focus on school, The Lumberjacks were ~800 in the world onto Rag HC when I left.
More Information:
Can you meet our raid schedule of Wed/Thur/Mon 21:00 to 00:00 server time with at least 90% attendance? Absolutely yes.
We are raiding Sundays at start of each Tier for 3-4 weeks. Are you aware of it? Yes that's fine by me I will be there.
Are you able to Listen and Speak on Teamspeak? Yes.
What qualities do you bring to a Raid? I'm experienced in progression raiding and experienced with all 3 specs of the Paladin.
How do you feel about progression raiding? I absolutely love progression raiding and it's the entire reason I returned to WoW after many years, missed progression raiding and missed being part of a raid team.
Where did you hear about Curse of Years and do you know anyone in the guild? Wowprogress.com I don't know anyone in the guild that I'm aware of (Unless any of you were in Umbrage in 2010 :P)
What encouraged you to apply to Curse of Years? Top guild on my current server with the kind of progress I'm aspiring towards, I'm looking for a long term progression guild, I'm not the type to constantly change guilds. I'd need a faction change but that's fine.
Do you play outside of raid? Yes, probably too much ;)
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your application? Nope.
Tell us a joke:
There was once a young boy who absolutely adored tractors, he had tractor bedsheets, tractor wallpaper, boxes full of tractor toys, he was just a huge fan of tractors, when he grew up he wanted nothing more than to drive one for a living. However when the boy grew up, as many of us do, lost sight of his childhood aspirations and ended up working a typical 9-5 office job, getting married, having kids, and all the rest of it.
One day on the drive home from work he saw massive bellowing clouds of smoke coming from what seemed to be his house, he drove home as fast as he could and when he could there the whole house was full on fire, full of smoke, with his family inside. He called the fire brigade but they were taking too long, his wife and kids were doomed to be killed by the smoke. As a last resort the man ran to his front door, opened the letterbox, and started sucking out all of the smoke. It worked! He managed to suck all of the smoke out of the house and was greeted by his ecstatic wife and kids who he had saved. "That was amazing, how on Earth did you do that!?" asked his shocked wife. "It was easy, I'm an ex-tractor fan" he replied.
