Again, my issue is with your insistence of making a line break after every sentence.

Sure it would be fun for big numbers... but quite the exercise in futility for game balance.

As an aside I am excited about the intent shown in the blue posts. If Blizzard can actually pull off decent class balance this time round, more power to them.
I agree with PvP balance - especially with the updated dmg output of Bears.

But it is not such a big problem regarding mana pools of healers.

For example, a druid that can concentrate on casting LB often produces more than enough HpS on his tank.
But he needs a rejuvenation to get a swift heal every now and then.
In addition he sometimes needs to leave and reenter tree form to cast an instand HT.
(This is a BC example. Please don't argue this will be different in WotLK. The details will be different - the main point remains)

If the tank had a lot more Health the druid just needed the LB. That would cost A LOT LESS MANA.


There are 2 factors when it comes to healers going oom:

1) Damage received by the tank
2) Spikiness of the damage.

It is absolutely possible to produce a lot more HpS with the same mana if there are no spikes.


Besides:
The 200% Health pool was an example.
130% -150% might also do
