English punctuation style differs from French in that it never puts a space before punctuation - only after. Please do not use French punctuation. In addition, make use of the Shift key when appropriate. This includes the first person pronoun, I, every time you use it.

What you forget here is that a druid will have a lot of rejuv ticking on the whole raid. A druid is generally assigned to raid healing + tank full hoting on heavy tank damage encounters. I usually have around 8-10 rejuv ticking on the raid + regrowth and lb on the tank, with WG up on every cd when raid damage justify it. That means a lot more proc for a druid.

What people tend to forget saying it should go to the tank healer is that even a druid is a tank healer. What druid does not full hot his tank on heavy encounter damage ?

(not counting WG and those number are the ones i have with my Uldu10-25/Naxx25 equipment)

- Rejuv ticking at 2K3 every 3s
- Regrowth ticking at 1k2 every 3s
- LB (3 stacks) ticking at 1k2 every 1s (thus 3k6 every 3s)

We have 3k6 + 1k2 + 2k3 = 7100 / 3 = 2366 * 0.15 = 354 hp /s shield.
Add some 15k nourish 1.5s (gcd) spam when the proc is up, you add a 15k * 0.15 / 1.5s = 1500 /s

You get the maximum shield bonus in 10.8s (20 000 / 1854), not counting the LB blooming for 15k that will probably higly bloom when the shield is building up.

For a paladin (i admit i am not an expert but those are rough numbers of one of the Uldu25/Naxx 25 stuffed paladin in our guild, feel free to correct me).

1.7s = 12k heal (19k crit)

Taking 17k heal to simplify a bit things since paladins are roughly around 60% crit, that means a 17 000 * 0.15 = 2250 shield in 1.7s, therefor a 1323 hp / s shield on the tank.

The shield will be up to full in : 15s.

You can add one holy shoc in the rotation if you want, that will had a 1050hp (7k * 0.15 ) = buff to the shield.

I agree the paladin numbers are not perfect, but the point of my post is to show that on a druid usually assigned to raid + MT healing, it is very good to have, it's not to point that on a paladin it is not.

@Vihermaali, even if the shield are not fully used 100% of the time, it is very good to have. 20% of shield used would mean a 1.27% increase in your total healing. No weapon can give you that just by a few stats. Granted the staff of endless winters has very good stats, but the mace plus a very good offhand isnt that far behind to drop that healing increase.
