I think the point of Gift of the Earthmother is twofold:
1) More free time to use other spells
2) Use mana faster when you're using every GCD
There's not really any reason you'd ever roll 5 Lifeblooms unless you're trying to heal through Encapsulate or something. I envision this conversation leading to the Gift talent:
Designer A: ok, what cool new healing spells can we give Druids
Designer B: Nourish, Flourish
Designer A: Cool, let's do those
Designer C: Druids already spend 50-75% of their GCDs casting Lifebloom, they may not use these
Designer A: Good point let's nerf Lifebloom
Designer B: Probably not a good idea, let's just give them more time so they can use the new stuff
Designer A: Ok, let's increase the duration of Lifebloom so they can refresh less often
Designer C: Do we really want to make Druids more mana efficient? If we make them cast faster it'll do the same thing
Designer B: True, let's make that a talent to encourage people to go deep Resto instead of getting Dreamstate
Designer A: Sounds good, lunchtime!
