I read the Priest guide and that's what taught me how to heal in the first place so don't refer me to it :rolleyes: (excellent job on it, MongoJerry)
Basically, I've heard two strategies for healing tanks. One is to just spam FHeals all over the place, efficiency be damned, that's what rotations are for. Another is to have one person hitting the tank with FHeals to keep him alive and protect against crits while another Priest casts GHeal to actually do the healing. The second options seems better to me because it seems that the GHeal Priest could last a very long time before he needed to regen mana. Of course, if he couldn't last a whole fight, it wouldn't matter because he'd still need a backup to rotate with.
In short, I'm very confused.
My spec is going to be 31Disc/20Holy and unless that is going to absolutely suck, leave my spec be. I want to go Disc because well, Holy sucks and I'm looking forward to changes in the Disc tree moreso than I am looking forward to changes in the Holy tree. I'm going to mana/5sec gear from DM which shouldn't be too hard to get since my guild will be running me thru like crazy since I'm one of 3 Priests 45+ :P
Take your time answering, it'll be at least level 58 before I'm in MC :lol:
