And all the healing meters count effective heal, which is a little complex but can be thought as heal minus overheal.

Right, but sometimes it's nice to see that 40% of the healing a person did was overhealing. While you could calculate this from DM (and it might be in the newest version) it's nice to just see it out there.

Personally I still run recap for much of my personal skill use information because the interface is so much easier for me to use than DM or SW_Stats.


Of course overheal becomes interesting for holy spec paladins. The big concern on overheal is mana efficiency. well when a paladin crits with a heal, they get a full mana refund. Sure crits for all classes are free healing and counting on a crit or a not crit when choosing rank doesn't matter much but the issue works a bit different for the paladin since a crit heal means the base heal was free too. I'm actually looking for a tool that will record how much overheal I got from crit heals and how much I got from non-crit heals on my paladin to see if I want to adjust healing methodology to help extend the mana pool. This also means that I value spell crit pretty highly on a paladin since it is a very good way to extend the mana pool, I'm not sure if it is better than +healing, but it's simpler to deal with than trying to stack enough +healing to down rank on the heals. :)
