Natures Swiftness and Mana Tide.
To get both of these with only 31 talent points requires you to forego 6 of 10 points in the two pretty crucial skills Improved Lesser Healing Wave (+15% uninterruption on the Shaman's "flash" heal per point) and Purification (+2% healing per talent point)
So if you want mana tide + nature's swiftness + Imp. Lesser + Restoration in a Restoration build you have to spend 37 points :blink: .
This is where a priest rocks. 17 points in holy (2/2 in Imp Flash Heal) and you have almost all of the utility you need in endgame raid healing and endgame PvP healing.
It would be nice to see them unhinge some of the low utility talents so that a 31 point restoration shammy healer makes sense.

Crap I missed that too. My shaman isn't going restoration so I didn't look real close at the tree. I just know that Treesh is really not happy with it on Mogo and I have looked some at it and played with a few shaman so I figured I'd give my assesment. So yeah not only do you give up choice talents in the other tree you give up the other good restoration talents.
