Unless Blizzard is just trying to make mana a relative non-factor and just rely on burst damage and burst healing reflexes and take mana management mostly out of consideration for healers? Or maybe sunwell requires so much healing that priests are expected to CoH non-stop for 10 minutes and they needed to give them the means to do that?
Well, I can talk only about the first two encounters at this point, but the first one seems to require at least eight minutes of straight group heals, be they PoH or CoH or shamans with Chain Heal, and the second one is flat out max-rank single-target heal spam (possibly requiring spell haste gear, thereby increasing mana consumption).
