Quote:Any healer can have better efficiency with their healing if they're willing to go with more +healing and step down ranks in spells they cast. They may not have a highest burst heal, but they can certainly last longer healing with more +heal gear and stepping down in ranks to conserve mana to using less +healing and go with higher ranks. Efficiency comes from how much the player is willing to sacrafice in other areas to get more +healing.

Aggro reduction yes, control, that is up to the individual player. Any player with Salvation can still out aggro a tank with the right Talent build and equipment if they don't pay attention to their aggro.
Can we at least assume equal gearing and skill? That's what lemekim is talking about. We're comparing Horde to Alliance in this discussion, not player A with Gear X to player B with Gear Y. A shaman with X amount of +healing gear will never be as mana efficient as a paladin with X amount of healing gear. A warlock who controls his aggro perfectly on Alliance does 10% more damage than a horde warlock who controls his aggro perfectly.

Really? The tooltip says "attacks and spells".... is it broken right now? Haven't logged in with my paladin for a long time...
