Resto 85 healing in 4.3

Version: 4.1, level 85 cataclysm release (4/26/2011)

How to heal as an 85 restoration druid in Cataclysm.

Introduction to druid healing, written at a beginner/intermediate level (so, druids looking for advanced help should look at the additional resource links provided).

4.3 Updates: The only real change to resto druids is the change to Wild Growth. Wild Growth will now heal for less than it did before. In addition, the Glyph of Wild Growth now adds 2 seconds to the cooldown of Wild Growth when it adds a 6th person to possibly be hit by the spell. The glyph of Wild Growth is still a benefit for 25-man raids in general, and is only useful for 10-man raids when you stack up. It shouldn’t be something you glyph for if you primarily run 5-mans (but there aren’t any better glyphs for smaller group content in its place). See glyph section for more info.
