The grand design of the resto talents seem solid now.
The major problem I see is with Spirit Link. Conceptually, this is a great idea. Functionally, it seems like it might work well. From a balance standpoint, it's a nightmare.

If Spirit Link can actually have near 100% uptime on a raid tank, it becomes a mandatory ability in a large raid. On the other hand, if Spirit Link has near 100% uptime on a 5-man instance tank, it means that Resto Shaman will need to have horribly underpowered single target healing to compensate - and this would cause Shaman to be crippled in PvP where you can simply dispel the Spirit Link. If you put a cooldown on it, it starts to look like just another "panic button".
