You know, this was mentioned on the forums like 1-2 weeks ago. But yes, criticals from HoT's proc Blessed Resilience allowing you to increase the healing done to yourself by 30%

Thanks for posting the log data on Blessed Resilience.

I agree unless and until, as I said, "***Once your mana regen is comfortable*** Surge of Light seems quite questionable"

Flash Heal is also excellent for gathering a Serendipity stack, costs no talent points, and like an SoL proc takes no more than a GCD to cast.

Sinndir mentions SoL being good because of Serendipity, but SoL is also great for throughput unless you're doing intense AoE heals. This is particularly true now that SoL can crit (and proc another SoL!). In addition, SoL will refresh Renew in Serenity Chakra (very handy on the off-tank). Finally, SoL means casting a Flash Heal while moving.

Yes, I haven't said anything else. I'm using SoL myself and I find the uses for it better for me than Rapid Renewal. But it will never be something you can count on, that's a fact. And if you don't go OOM, it's an unreliable throughput talent at best. While Rapid Renewal is throughput you can count on.
That said, I still like SoL better than Rapid Renewal because I haven't found a need to spam Renew. I'm not discussing what I find the best personally, I was giving suggestions on why people would take Rapid Renewal instead of SoL.

No, here's what I said:

"I can imagine blanketing with Rapid Renewal being great for certain critical parts of an encounter, where you just have to make people stay alive during a short period. Throughput, once again."

That doesn't say that renew blanketing is necessary.

I'm really enjoying Stoneform, since they gave it a damage reduction aspect. I pop that thing religiously off cooldown on certain fights. The graphic is kind of neat, too. Supposedly, the Explorer racial makes Archaeology a smidge easier to level. I'm not quite sure how or if it makes it that much easier. It's fun to think about, though.

I enjoy not standing in fire, which makes Worgen pretty good.

Currently, Revelations is bugged so that you don't need to spend the talent points in order to use Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctuary. The key is that you have to use these spells in a macro such as:

/cast [exists,harm] Holy Word: Chastise; [target=mouseover,exists,nodead,help] Holy Word: Serenity
/cast Holy Word: Sanctuary

This will cast Holy Word: Serenity on your mouseover target and Holy Word: Sanctuary without having to actually be specced into Revelations, as long as you are the the corresponding Chakra state. I have confirmed this from several different sources as working with any combination of talents and macros, as long as you have the /cast spell line in there for HW:Serenity and HW:Sanctuary.

I don't know if you'd consider this to be an "exploit" but I'm going to use this knowledge to maximize my talents until it is fixed; an extra free talent point will definitely be useful, like for getting that extra point in SoL, Blessed Resilience, or any of the other optional talent points that we can't always squeeze in (for now, at least until this is fixed).

Worgen's run speed and dwarven damage reduction will be more helpfull during raiding then the human free break cc spell as the only use I found so far in raids is on halfus wyrm breaker to free myself from the third stun from his roar and start healing faster again, altho that doesn't give a big advantage unless your tank is about to die and you want to cast your guardian spirit/pain suppression/barrier on him.

I run with 3300 spirit, which means the human racial gives me 99 extra spirit. If you use Flask of the flowing water that's another 9 spirit but I myself use int flasks so it doesn't give me that bonus.

I still think that the dwarven and worgen racials are better for normal raids and even better for heroic raiding.

The only reason why I am still human is because I just love the reputation gain increase. If it was for pure raiding I would go dwarf for the racial.

Check your mana regen on a log. Add your total mana to your mana regen from things like Mana Leech, Replenishment, Hymn of Hope, etc. then divide by 4 times the fight length and you'll get the mp5 value of being a gnome. It's really not a lot, definitely not even close to 3% more spirit.

Nice update.

Around the mana regen equation section, it might be useful to include a worked example demonstrating how the equation operates; one could assume 2500 spirit and 5500 mana. Also I think it would be useful to discuss the rates of change of the mana regen equation. Partial derivatives with respect to spirit and with respect to intellect would emphasise how mana regen changes.

I think you're concerned with the wrong thing, Gavreel. Your concern should be if your healing crew can get through the encounters that you are attempting. If you are wiping because your HPS is too low and people die before you run OOM, reforge and gem for Haste. If you're wiping because you're running out of mana, reforge and gem for Mastery or maybe Spirit. If you're not wiping then who cares who tops the healing meter, especially if the one topping the meter is doing so by sniping heals? Healing meters are all but useless on farm content.
