Would this be a proper place to discuss DS healkins? I doubt there's enough of us to justify our own thread.
I've been pleasantly surprised by healkin spec in raids. I've only been able to bring mine on T5 raids twice, but Morogrim saw me towards the top of the pack and I was our strongest consistent FLK healer.
One thing that I find vexing is situations where there isn't a tank taking oodles of damage. For example, my main healing assignment was FLK's hunter guardian last night. Once he went down, I moved over to the healer guardian to assist on raid healing. And felt like a deer in headlights. HT is too slow to react to random damage, so I was just popping lifeblooms and rejuvs all over the place. It was sustainable (massive regen and an alchemist's stone) but just felt supremely inefficient. What do you trees do when you raid heal? Do you have any strategies/tips?
For reference,

not criticize the raid's performance; this is just to troubleshoot personal mistakes/issues.
Edit: One tradeoff that I've made with this talent build is subtlety vs nature's focus. I went the subtlety route to lessen aggro-deaths in heroic and some raid fights, but the lack of pushback interruption is a liability in rare situations (heroic fights with periodic ranged AoE; Illhoof). Looking ahead at T5 content, is pushback interruption something I should be worried about?
