Original Post:

I read through all the suggestions and made some changes. I equipped 2 of my tier pieces (the ugly power ranger shoulders and the legs) to get the FoL crit bonus, replaced gems with haste resulting in 655 haste.

I was up against a new tree and priest healer in Naxx 10 last night... I topped the charts with HPS anywhere from 1.7-2200 and with 40%+ healing credit. I did run oom alot though when casting HL and frequently fell back to DP and FoL to rebuild mana.

After the Tree left and the priest left, another Lead Healadin joined. During our first attempt at Sapph, he died and my healing results produced 3300 hps... which demonstrates my capacity at least. The next try, he and I healed through Sapph successfully. He still outhealed me, but the results were far closer than any other time we've healed together and I still pulled a decent HPS close to 1900, he was at 2200.

So I have to surmise that haste was a huge issue. In my case it appears that my heals were just too slow and small (because of my combo use). Have a new helm I will gem with intell and haste (trying to reach hard cap) and I will use 4 of the tier pieces to see if I solve the oom issue and how it affects my healing results tonight at 25 man naxx. If I don't oom, I may try starting with HL first and keep pumping that as needed.

I still prefer my first shot as DF + HS + FoL... I use this everytime it becomes available. Not so much for the mana aspect... but it procs several items. Honestly can't tell you what is setting off, but I will try to catch the names as they do. Noob I admit... but always willing to learn. Criticism welcomed, but again please be nice. I'll post results if they provide anything useful.
