Already tagged u for the other post, but just noting this one in case the message didn't get across.

Original Post:

I Really fail to see how people can say: ''Mana is a non issue'' and yet they still gem for full Intellect. This is just beyond me. Anyone could care to ellaborate this?

Haste Project

We are recently starting to do Hard Modes (Starting with Thorim and Hodir) My healing output on those fights felt really bad. This, and the mana non issue, made me regem and gear towards a full haste set. My output has greatly increased since then. Mana is a bit sloppy, but the fights are not very long so it should not matter that much.

Stats are:

Standard talent setup, nothing fancy.

Haste: 799 Character Sheet (Thus including food and pots, excluding totem)
SP: 2.3-2.4k (Really depending on trinket setup, more on this later)

Glyphs I am using:
Mana Tide Totem
Water Mastery
Chain Heal

This setup is tight on your mana, this is why I am using mana glyphs + the obvious chain heal glyph. I don't feel LHW glyph is worth it because with this setup your hasted Healing Waves are 1.3-1.4s, which should be fast enough for emergency heals on tanks. For a quick raid heal u can still use .8s LHW's, but the glyph would not help here anyway.

Wow Web Stats
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis
(Thorim try 6 is a normal mode kill, since we had to clear the instance before the reset)

This data is only from 1 raid so far, will update as soon as i get more info. I've started this 'project' a day ago so i do not have much data to back it up yet. In theory it is really great, and I actually felt usefull raid healing again.

I'm just not really sure about my trinket setup yet. One of the trinkets I use all the time is [Spark of Life]. For the second trinket slot I've been messing around with [Soul Preserver], [Soul of the Dead], [Eye of the Broodmother] and [Darkmoon Card: Greatness]. From these trinkets I like DMG:G the best so far, since it is a steady source of mana regen, where Soul Preserver can be very RNG based (7 Procs on Freya, resulting in very high average mp5, 1 proc on General Vezax, resulting in being nearly useless) Did i miss any trinkets that provide either throughput and mana regeneration, like the Soul Preserver, or any trinket that gives more pure mana then DMG:G?

The points where I am stuck at the moment are Mana on some fights (Mainly Freya hard mode and Mimiron hard mode) I haven't gotten the oppertunity myself yet to try these hard modes, maybe someone who has can provide some insight?
