Blizzard's post didn't mention one significant change for the worse for pure healers: you can no longer take both Mental Strength (+10% to mana) and Spiritual Healing (+10% to healing). The new healing talents of use when healing tanks don't add anywhere near as much healing as either of these - Spiritual Guidance is particularly pathetic if you work out what it actually gives you - meaning that in 1.10 the optimum healing build will heal less than it does at the moment before mana runs out. In other words, priests' healing has got worse.
