Tank Healing build:

I was firstly thinking of going 1/3 CF, because I didn’t want too lose any more points in the resto tree.

Now I’m concidering dropping 2 points of living spirit, wich in my case make me lose around 80 spirit (according too EJ Itemization: 15,52 spellpower in tree form and 29,92 mp5)

I don’t mind the 15 SP, and the 30mp5 I can lose the regen in my current gear.
Besides I’m using the SP flasks because I enough mana regen from gear, so can always switch too MP5 flasks when I really need the regen.

This is the build I’m thinking of:

Personally, it feels like CF is veru under budgeted for Resto druids. It’s basically 4 points for 3% haste (since 1 point in brambles is all but useless). I honestly think that empowered touch or living seed are a much better use of these points. Even when I raid heal, Nourish still accounts for a sizable chunk of my healing done. I will certainly gear for haste, but I am not going to kill myself and sacrifice other important talents trying to obtain a 1 sec GCD.

anyway the new talents are frustrating an a clear nerf to druid healing!
esp. with the no haste tier items …

These are the specs I’m gonna try out first.

Spec 1
I think this will be my raid healing type spec. I have dropped Natures Grace and put it into Revitalize just for the mana/rage return etc.

Spec 2
Tank heals. Pretty much as my spec is now.

Nature’s Grace makes the Rapid Rejuvenation ticks faster. If you mix your regrowth/nourishes with rapid rejuvs, you get super speedy rejuvs. Also, I’m expecting that a LOT of people won’t be at the new haste cap once 3.3 comes out in the first place.

Also, some people like dropping below the 1 second GCD with nourishes, especially since you don’t tend to spam a bunch of nourishes in a row – you tend to mix nourishes between other spells. So, you may proc NG with nourish & then use it to cast a faster regrowth.

There’s no build I can work out that has all the talents I would like to have. So, all the builds compromise somewhere. There is no single one best build to use in 3.3, because all of them are leaving out something important. So, mostly all 3 builds leave me somewhat unhappy.
