Razorgore Thoughts

[Treesh]

Couple of things I noted:

1) Holy Nova is out.  It should not be used - as Treesh noted, it breaks the crowd control we have in place on the Dragonkin.  This is a real shame, since it's a no-aggro heal, and the whole problem of this encounter is aggro.

Absolutely not what I said last night. It should be used, but not in the role that I was in last night. It is better for a priest who is healing a kiter rather than someone in the thick of the battle. The hunters in the group I was placed in took very, very little damage ever so it would have been easy to use holy nova to heal them. However, they were also right by a lot of the slept dragonkin. When I use it to heal both those doing DPS and the kiting warrior, usually there are not as many slept dragonkin around and I place myself between the kiting warrior and the rest of my party. I hit it when the kiting warrior is close enough and there isn't CC directly around me. Most of the time, it heals me, the kiter, and at least one other person in the group (frequently the pally in the group) and since I can hit those three people, it's not nearly as mana inefficient as naysayers try to have you believe. If I hit three targets for the minimum heal, with Aleri's gear and spec, it's a 2.41 health per mana point, which is better than flash heal. Having me stuck in the middle where there is a much higher chance of me being close to a lot of CC mobs is a bad place to be for holy nova. It was great to use as a healer of a kiting warrior and definitely was not the mana drain that someone over teamspeak was claiming it would be. On our killing of Razorgore, I still had about 3/4 of my mana bar full at the end of phase one by using holy nova and renews as my primary source of healing on the kiters, with the occasional flash heal thrown in here and there.
