There seems to be different opinions on this. Is it only direct heals that are duplicated or also HOTs.
Thx in advance.

Blue - Source of Magic is the most beneficial of the three buffs to resto druids, the problem is that it takes longer to come out which makes Red - Gift of Life the best overall hps due to efflorescence double dipping and early spawn time. Paladins also benefit much more from blue than druids do so keep that in mind when allocating buffs for your raid.
Green - Essence of Dreams DOES work from hots, the hot or direct heal MUST be healing done, it ignores all overhealing, and the recent hotfix changed it so that your heal MUST be over 1500 to proc the effect (depending on your spell power Wild Growth ticks may or may not proc it). You will want to maximize your healing done on Swiftmends with this buff especially with 4T12 and to avoid over-healing with it (which is good practice always however not required for laying efflorescence in normal circumstances so it is worth mentioning), hots are still the most effective way to heal.
Once all three buffs are out green falls behind the longer the fight goes on, but is still a viable option for druids.
