As a mostly Balance Druid who knows his place when healing is necessary, you'll often see me beating on ANY boss in the game that doesn't have an AoE or Cleave that's going to rip my face off. I run up into melee whenever it's safe for the free spells from Omen of Clarity.
Considering frequent procs and the 20-second duration of Regrowth, our main tank will ALWAYS have a Regrowth ticking on him during a boss fight that permits this tactic, because every time I get the chance to cast a free spell I'll be using the most mana-inefficient option out there. The thought is it doesn't cost anything, so let's go large.
That means in our raids, even if the Restoration Druids aren't using Regrowth due to the hefty mana cost, there will always be one available for a Swiftmend to consume. Considering most use Rejuvenation already, that provides for a consistent two-heal punch should the tank take a nasty hit.
