Restoration Druid v Shadow Priests

[savaughn]

My feeling is that priests and druids of similar level are close enough in capability that player skill is a large factor. I'd use the Innervate on whoever is doing most of the healing. The only cases I can think of that the priest comes out ahead is in burst healing with Flash Heal and AoE healing, so if the tactical situation needs that, Innervate the priest, otherwise, a druid specced to the healing side would be more efficient.

Actually, my experience is that the priest comes out ahead because of Fade and Subtlety. When Skand's rule #1 kicks in, you generally aren't racing to get the heals out, you're racing your tanks ability to keep hate on all of the mobs beating on him. The exception to this is anywhere you would need a healer rotation.

I'm pretty stingey with my healing, though. Especially in pick up groups where you may need everything you've got. Pick-Up Groups! Now, with more Rule #1! :P
