[...] of new cooldowns on the horizon for resto druids and shaman and just what those things might be. Beruthiel was quick to release a brief post about this and I’m sure many other healers will [...]

How’s this for an idea for Spirit Link?

Spirit Link
Instant Cast
10 Minute Cooldown (talented to 7)

Links the casters spirit with the target, combining their health pools for 10 seconds. While linked, any damage or healing done is applied to the combined health pool. If the combined health pool reaches 0, both die. When this effect expires, the remaining health is split evenly between the Shaman and the target.

Kind of a combination of Last Stand and Lay on Hands, but thematically consistent with Shamans.

In order to balance this, it may need to have an increased healing effect as well.

I play a resto shaman, and My idea for a cooldown was something where in a spell you combine the power of all 4 totems into one awesome totem that does something ridiculous to whoevers in range of it. I’d call it totem pole.

I’m a holy priest myself and I don’t expect to heal better than other classes. I don’t believe we should be “dominant” at all. If that were the case, everyone would demand healers all be priests and that would be really boring.

I think people are a bit too focused on equality between healing classes, and they should be focused on equity instead. We don’t have to all have the same tools. Only druids can battle res, and I’m perfectly ok with that.

Priest, because it can only fill two roles unlike the other classes. Shaman can fill melee/ranged/healing Paladin can fill Tank/Melee/Healing Druid can fill Melee/Ranged/Tank/Healing In my opinion, the lack of utility for priests should be compensated, not taken away. They should top healing charts on a regular basis. You should be able to take a player with equal skill for every class and have that player heal better with priests. It's just my personal opinion.

I’ve heard spirit link a number of times from shaman! Seems to be the front runner favorite of the community

I guess I’m kind of confused here. Can you please tell me which of the four healing classes you would not consider a hybrid?

I'm sick and tired of hybrids wanting as many healing tools as priests. Priests have two healing trees, they should be the dominant healing class. As of such, I'm also tired of shadow priests complaining about not having the tools a mage has. We need more class defining and less balancing. On that note, I wish priests could carry a shield...

For Shaman Spirit Link is the ideal iconic spell that can be worked in although difficult to implement. Sticking to what already exists in Warcraft III a Ethereal Form to do something similar to Tree Form. Maybe reduce physical damage increase SpellPower that would also benefit the Elemental spec which is in need of CDs as well. And finally and least interesting idea or another Elemental Totem for Water that summons and AOE Healing Elemental for a few minutes.
