Ultimately though, once S3 hits I'm going to buy all the honour gear, as well as 1-2 pieces of S3 then quickly get a couple of pieces of S1 with more honour points to hit 4 piece bonus (correct me if I'm wrong and that doesn't work). This'll give me a pretty pro resto set. At this point (and assuming my team mates have been able to get similar upgrades), does resto as a second healer in a 3dps team become more viable? Or would I be better off grinding another 150k honour for full S1 moonkin and S3 honour loots?
