There is another pattern that we are seeing here - "Passive" healing (aka HoTs). HoT's are heals that are usually very mana efficient, instant, ignore LoS (after being casted) and ignore Silences.
The main reason Druids can do so much in Arena is because they don't generally use heals that have a cast time. The mobility alone is glaringly effective for a healer to have, to be able to heal on the run. It takes less than a second to cast a HoT and run behind a pole, effectively reducing your exposure by a significant amount. Compared to running into LoS, stopping, casting for 2.5 seconds, and then moving out of LoS again. Not to mention the very real (and likely) threat of being CS'd and controlled. Is it really any wonder that the Classes with HoT's are usually the most effective in lower brackets by a signifcant margin?
