1. Nerfing coefficients in expectation of wotlk changes will be done later, not now.

2. Haste will never be good (assuming its only affecting the GCD) for very many fights and is certainly not worth itemizing for on your primary gear other than to pick up a slight amount to give yourself a bit of a latency/laziness cushion. Picking some up for those rare fights where it would be useful might not be bad.

3. It takes a lot of latency or a bad ui to no be able to keep 4 lifeblooms up pretty consistently. I'll admit this varies greatly with the score of whatever sporting event is on the tv in the background. I'm planning to pick up a little bit of haste on some items where i can do it without losing hardly anything, like maybe a BBoK or the za neck, mostly just to give myself a little cushion.

4. If you're playing the role of predominantly stacking hots on 1-4 tanks and not blowing people away in healing done, either you're doing something wrong, or your guild is bringing too many healers. As the number of healers increases or the fight gets easier, tank hot stacks will tick less and less, plummetting your healing done, but when things are still hard enough that the tank isn't constantly topped off, you should be doing a ton of healing as a hots on tanks druid in any fight that isn't just goofy.

5. This change sucks. Don't get me wrong, if you looked solely at healing meters druids would look a bit op in pve, but the healing meters don't show the huge sacrifices druids make to do 1 thing well: constant healing dump into tanks.
