There's also a pretty nice Cloth Head from IC10H aswell that has haste, defenately better than Crit..

Trauma has been buffed since then and I agree it's what I believe is BIS. It's actually what I use and it's totally fabulous! I may have a look at updating the list with Ruby Sanctum stuff shortly I just haven't really been playing too much over the last 6 weeks.

Yes, Bonespike does provide a nice amount of spirit but it has crit on it. I would take the Trauma proc over spirit any day. Plus the socket on Trauma is more favorable for druids if your gemming full on haste. Just wondering. Thanks, ~Nephy I don’t see why Heroic Trauma isnt the BiS.

I would recommend using Heroic Althor's and Heroic Solace for your trinkets. Solace is BiS for the insane mana regen that it provides, remember the highest item lvl isnt always the best.

We have a shadow / disc priest who we sometimes get to switch to discipline in fights like Blood Queen but most of the other times he is Shadow... So I am going suggest to our guild the way your healing assignment are set up for this encounter. specially when its an all movement fight. We recently learned from another ex guildie that the Defile / Valks stage doesnt count toward the enrage so maybe we could just stop 5 seconds before defile hits and move it out of the way and then take care of valks and do it with baby steps. I went to your UI Evolution post after i posted the previous post and did a complete overhaul of Interface, also found out that Vuhdo allows you to add spells to the mousewheel so now i have Left Click = Rejuv Right Click = Wild Growth Middle Click = Swiftmend Mouse Wheel Scroll up = Nourish Mouse Wheel Scroll down = Regrowth Also added: ALT + Left Click = Remove Curse ALT + Right Click = Abolish Poison. Which i tried tonight for raid and i was so happy that i had almost all the spells i use for healing on the mouse, well not counting Lifebloom. It really came in handy since we had a low gear Resto Druid who didnt know much of the fights experience so it was great to keep her up besides the rest of the raid and tanks. The only downside i had was the common bug that happens that sometimes you get like latency cast that makes your cast SLOW and to be able to fix you need to log out completely out of the game and then come back in . Thank you again for your reply any information helps :) Hi Lathere, Thank you for responding so quickly.

This makes the fight go from very difficult raid healing to something much much easier because you only have to worry about topping up a couple of people with infest. The healing make up/assignments my guild use for most attempts is: Tank Healing: Holy Paladin Tank Healing + Group 1 Bubbles: Discipline Priest Raid Bubbles Groups 2 - 5: Discipline Priest Groups 1, 2 & 3: Restoration Druid & Resto Shaman Groups 3, 4 & 5: Restoration Druid & Holy Priest I find raid healing isn't that bad when a discipline priest is bubbling off infest and giving the raid an extra split second to move out of defile. I find I can focus more on hotting up the tank in anticipation of soul reaper and chucking hots and nourishes on the raid members that need it. Transition phases are the tricky part - I am assigned to Groups 1, 2 & 3 and I like to place regrowth on all the melee DPS during this phase because they seem so squishy (this could just be our guild I'm not 100% sure why the damage is so high) and then move to rejuvs/wild growth and nourish top ups as necessary. 2nd transition phase we make our raid member use their health stones and live saving abilities like barskin to get into position on the outer edge and try only to pop hero/bloodlust at the very end so that the healers have time to top up the raid and heal up the first harvest soul person without issue. With respects to Regrowth - there is no point spamming it. Once it's on and the hots are ticking you should move over to Nourish providing you have another hot on the target. Would you spam Regrowth on Dreamwalker? As if - Nourish is what I would like to think all resto druids would use. I would personally stick to the 4 piece set bonus especially if there are nights where your the only druid so you can really make use of the rejuv hopping. There is nothing wrong with forgoing it through - its a complete matter of preference I know people who prefer to get individual BIS items and miss out on them all together :) Good luck with Lich King 25!

Its like i have to keep attention to 20 different things and i keep missing the little things. First phase is ok since the group is together i can concentrate in keeping hots on the offtank and the main tank and do a rejuv here or there to people with the aoe disease debuff who were missed by the priests, but when it comes to the phase after the lich king drops the balcony the first time and well run to the center to juggle between defiles and valks i go crazy trying to keep hots on the tank and off tank and still try to do rejuv on people with debuff disease when it happens . Since everyone is all over the place i cant do a good wild growth which i was counting on to be my back up heal, i ended up going with a rejuv/ lifebloom combo but sometimes it is not enough. I'm i doing something wrong? Whats worse is that i had a preset healing style and all where i worked with Vuhdo to keep Rejuv , Wild growth and swiftmend in my 3 mouse buttons or use Rejuv/Nourish/Wildgrowth but thanks to my well meaning Raid leader who i am now understanding that he doesnt know anything about resto druid, i was told to change to rejuv/regrowth/wildgrowth which might be great in some situations when i have to spot someone but spamming regrowth loses all purpose because your wasting the Hots part of it. I recently saw my short comings when the other resto druid couldn't go to the guild try lich king night and i completely forgot to lay hots on the tanks during phase 3 that has been repetative because my guild fails to run out on defiles. Also this part doesn't have to do with the topic above but i recently got the Heroic version of Leggings of Unrelenting Blood but i am a little reluctant to use them over the Sanctified Druid leggings since i will miss out over the tier 10 4 set bonus, so a second opinion would be great on how to proceed.
