No offense, but I would say that making the job of the tanks a bit easier is good. Dropping those points to get GHT over Nourish for a few more HPS just does not seem worth it.

I'm pretty sure this is about having more than 2 resto druids in a raid and having to pick up GHT to allow for diversity in tools for handling spike damage. In that situation, there is no reason not to expect a hot an every single raid member. If you are the only resto druid in a raid, there is no argument for GHT. The other classes, as mentioned above, all have tools to deal with people taking unexpected life threatening damage.

Not a whole lot really, but here and there. It's usually probably a bit under 10% of my healing done, but that's still more than I heal with nourish.

It's not a big deal either way, but I like to have maximum strength hots on the tank while I raid heal. I sometimes swap to the nourish glyph for 10 man content since I do more tank healing there.

I'm not sure any tank actually says to himself "Hmm healer threat looks kinda high, I better try to do more TPS". Ever. They get way more heat from the DPS.

That said, no, I do not have threat issues despite the loss of subtlety, unless one of two things happen.
1. I lead the pull with a big RJ/SM on the tank while he's getting into position.
2. The tank is slow to pick up adds that spawn during Freya.

Okay I actually had time to look at your parse. OUr healing chart might ook strange to you, but our top 3 healers on Hodir had the same total healing done as your top 3..... but our raid took 3 million more damage and 1 extra minute to beat him. Ret pally heals are through the roof on our encounter.

We made a few attempts at Freya +3 on 10 man and I can't imagine how you can do that fight without it. Also the Thorim arena would seem impossible without it. I can think of many times that my little druid butt has been scurrying around trying to avoid adds and such(shadowmeld ftw), but I really can't think of anytime that I thought-"man if my casted heal just hit for a bit more". All I can say is that you are much braver than I am.

I've done Freya10 + 3 with 0/3 subtlety and GHT, it's not that bad. What are you getting aggro on, Storm Lasher? Also, while GHT does heal for a bit more, I think a more apt hypothetical would be "man, if only my casted heal was twice as fast."

Yeah, I wasn't really talking about 10 man Thorim it is cake. I have solo healed Thorim arena, XT and Kolgoran on 10 man. Normal 10 man Uldar isn't very hard. We run with a pally and at least 1 DK tanking arena on 25 man, but pull aggro I do.

The little guys that blow up love me. I'm not sure what you mean by twice as fast. My Nourish is 1.1 second cast with a 1.1 second GCD. As soon as a Nourish crits it is almost exactly 1 second cast with a 1 second GCD and almost continually will cast that way. Anyway, if somebody is getting low hitting them with a instant 1.7k heal(T8 4-piece) followed 2 seconds later by at 5-7k heal and 1 second later another 2k rejuv tick seems pretty efficient. That is about 10k healing in 3 seconds that leaves an option for swiftmend and possibly a living seed. That just seems like the way we were meant to heal to me. For you people with GHT what is your cast time before and after NG?

I was under the impression those guys on Freya ignore normal aggro rules and just do whatever. Am I wrong?

Also Nature's Grace, like all other haste increasing talents (such as Tidal Wave) does not decrease the GCD.

You are absolutely correct.
