I do not hit the GCD on Nourish, even with Nature’s Grace active I am still at a 1.1 second cast time, I believe. Recall that I stated with 3 healers I was on the tank quite frequently, keeping full hots on the tank, and nourishing in between as I could. For me on this fight every little bit of speed helped where I could get it, no matter how small the boost may have been =)

As I side note, I am uncertain if the starlight wells affected my GCD or not. It sure felt at the time as if it did (of course that could have also just been my adreneline rush as well). As I was spamming my raid with rejuv/WG I do believe I was able to pass out more rejuvs during my WG cooldown than usual, but I’m not positive, and I’ve not really had the time to study it during combat, but the next time we do it non-hard mode, I will try to remember to focus on it a little more. The buff is not picked up by combat log parses so I am unable to analyze it out of combat. I do recall our elemental shaman complaining about constantly hitting the GCD with their lightning bolts, so it may have just seemed to me that I was able to throw more HoTs out, when in actuality I was not.

All that being said, of the two buffs available to me, this one had the most benefit for me, even if it is slightly less useful for a Resto druid than say, a holy priest. =)

I’m typically haste capped for my hots and nearly there for nourish. The only real advantage I can see would be on regrowth.

I am just very relieved that we are past it and can work on something else now :)

Good Luck when you start working on it!!!
