for every spec soul of the forest looks like the best sustained throughput talent.
incarnation looks like the worst throughput talent but the best burst talent.
treants look to be inbetween with greater pvp emphasis.
looking at wild growth healing soul of the forest looks to buff it’s healing by 30% or so,
lifebloom looks similar with insane tick rates (as long as you aren’t likely to need to cast direct heals on that target for 15 seconds). the numbers i saw the druid went from 18 ticks in 15 seconds to 25 ticks with soul of the forest.
It would be very surprising if this wasn’t by design. i see me using all three of these talents situationally with soul of the forest being default in pve unless i absolutely need a 3 minute burst cd.
dream of cenarius also looks a very interesting lvl 90 talent. it will stack will the plus heal from natures swiftness for lay on hands lvl healing touches and if used on a direct heal to refresh lifebloom the +heal from DoC affects both the direct heal and lifebloom.
so many interesting choices .
so many changes to our gameplay .
really looking forward to MoP.

Probably because I didn’t get great use of it in the raids.

Soul of the Forest isn’t bad, and would likely be my second choice out of that tier, but ultimately it’s basically Nature’s Grace that triggers for one spell every 15 seconds – which will really only be maximized with WG, which is very expensive to cast, and mana is so tight already that you have to be very smart about what you are casting. I’m just not sure SoF is going to have the same power and utility in that first tier of raid ontent and continue to feel like ToL is the stronger option, at least in the early content.
