Is that what Blizzard really wants, all of the Sunwell-clearing healers to be stuck using Kara relics because of some stupid haste crap from PvP? Sorry, but that is piss poor reasoning and piss poor itemization to the maximum degree.

The other thing worth mentioning is that relic swapping was not a requirement at all (you can be very successful not doing it). It was simply something that provided some small benefit and a little bit of spice to the two most mind-numbingly boring healing systems in the game (CH heal spam for Shamans, HL downrank Spam/FoL spam for pallys).
