What we need is a link at the top saying, for a super in-depth Resto Shaman guide, go here.
That's a link to Skyhoof's guide on Elitist Jerks, "How to Heal Like a Pro". I've read through it many many times, and I've also read through the entire 11 pages of it. =D
That was already in there. It's just in the 3rd post in bold blue print.
Oh, and you still didn't lemme know which link was the right one for the better raiding resto tree~
If you can that'd be grand.

Nice! You're a genius.
And, well, the spec you linked is a bit different than mine, although it does have the basic 8/0/53 idea in there.
More like
this; I left out 6 points, for you to decide where to put them -- depending on your situation.
Let's say your guild is collectively just starting in Karazhan and still doing some heroics. Well,
here's a build for you. Basically I just added in Healing Grace and Healing Way.
Your guild is now full off in 25 mans, TK/SSC/MTH/BT? Ok, here's
a build for you.
Now, I left out Totemic Focus every time. Unless you're in the MT group, dropping Windfury, SoE, Searing or some other Fire totem, and MS/HS Totem, it only equates to something like 4.5 mp5. Usually you're in the caster group, only dropping Mana Spring and WoA, so you don't need the reduced mana cost as much. If you are in the MT group, then I think it's 11.8 mp5. I'm not sure, but it's in Skyhoof's guide on EJ.
Imp Reincarnation -- some swear by it, some say it's junk. This is wholly a matter of personal preference and situation. Decide from your experience if you would rather have less of a CD and more health/mana when you do self rez.
Healing Grace
-- This is also a matter of personal situation. One of my guildies, who has 3 70's, wanted me to come to Heroic Slave Pens with him. Now, 2 of his 70's are geared up really well, and the third, a feral druid, just hit 70 yesterday. Even so, I came with him; he's a really cool guy, and I need the badges! =P Anyway, he had like 12k health in bear form, and 400 defense -- 15 short of being uncrittable (druids are different than warriors and pallies, they need less def rating to become uncrittable). It was hell, let me tell you. I throw 2 heals his way and I'm already pulling aggro. This was one of the (few) times that I've wished I had Healing Grace.
I would only take it (Healing Grace) if your guild is progressing through heroics/Kara, and not just farming them for the new guys' gear.
Focused Mind -- totally situational. I think it's a waste of 3 points, but where else am I going to put them? Although, when you do get silenced (think...TK trash, ZA, etc etc), it's great to be the first healer to start healing before the others; you might save the day! =P
