Original Post:

Never posted before on these forums but I am an experienced resto druid killed KJ pre-3.0 patch and I have cleared all the current content.

What I have seen so far is first and foremost is that healing is very easy currently so no matter what you do you'll probably be fine.

1. Spell power is still the best stat.
2. Spirit is now useless in my opinion, the spirit -> mp5 conversion got nerfed pretty stongly. In my opinion spell power/mp5 gems are better now ([Royal Twilight Opal]). Much more MP5 and the Imp ToL extra healing is negligible even when raid buffed. I don't have issues getting a full mana bar from innervate and get a substantial amount even when I use it on someone else because of the glyph of innervate. Replenishment aura starts to have a huge imapct as your mana pool increases.
3. Crit seems to be better than haste given the choice between them. I am specced for Nature's Grace and I have the regrowth glyph so I've found myself making use of that spell much much more. Half a second off your next cast is very valuable, and with a decent amount of using regrowth and nourish living seed can be very useful.

Totally unbuffed stats (In tree form but no mark):
HP:16357
Mana: 16671
Bonus healing: 2124
MP5 while casting: 318 (you should never find yourself in a spot where you aren't casting, I never find myself with mana issues and cast for an entire fight)
Haste: 283 (8.63%)
Crit: 296 (16.68%)

Hope this helps some people!
