Please see the new 4.0.1 guide here: http://www.restokin.com/resto-druid-healing-guide/
NOTE: Now also posted on the official WoW druid forums here.
This was a guide I started for the 3.1 patch, which changed a lot about druid healing. It is now updated for the 3.3 patch
This is written at a beginning to intermediate level, where total “experts” won’t find that much useful that they don’t already know (since i don’t go much into the theorycrafting & math), and beginners who are under level 80 would be better off reading my leveling healing guide on restokin.com.
So, lets get into more of the details of what you will need to know to be a PvE healer for raiding. In general, the best tank healing strategy will be using HOTs to buff the healing done by nourish. The best raid healing strategy is using HOTs (primarily wild growth and rejuv).
Table of Contents:
- Tank healing – Nourish supported by HOTs
- Tank healing – Lifebloom strategies
- AOE raid healing – Wild growth and other HOTs
- Recommended talent spec(s)
- Glyphs for tank & raid healing
- Set bonuses and Idols
- Consumables & enchants

[...] Right now I am equally convinced that since I enjoy healing so much (the whole reason I didn’t stick with shadow at end game) that I will want to flip main spec to resto. The longer I have getting used to the style of healing the better off I will be in the long run. I could jump in, taking a bunch of talents that seem to fit together and give it a whirl. Or I could do a wee bit of research and have a better idea of what I am getting myself into. This was harder than I want to admit, with the loss of Phaelia to a RL sprout-ling. (though it looks like she is running a Marvel blog now…must hide it from the hub) Honestly, I forgot about a bunch of other good druid blogs (duh for not remembering to check BBB’s blogroll for them) BUT! I have a reason for the rambling, I stumbled over a blog linked on a forum and decided to give it a whirl. I was not disappointed, Restokin! [...]
