Resto 80 Heroic's QuestionFollow

Hey all!

Question mainly asking for my husband. We have pretty much always been more of PVP for awhile now, so alas with a resto shammy the only real main experience is PVP healing.

We have been running things like HoL, Occulus are the 2 lvl 80's we have done so far. My husband has been asked out of the blue on many occasion's to heal heroic's. We had no problem in the 2 80 dungeon's we have done so far, baring a few snags in HoL as our tank was 79 and 1 dps was 78.

Here is his armory link http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Quel%27dorei&n=Zogrell

Don't know when it will be updated but the AP trinket has been replaced with the spell power trinket from Occulus today.

Or if anyone has suggestions for gear upgrades for heroic's it would be really appreciated!! <3

He's going to need lots of upgrades to be able to heal heroics. While the SP isn't bad to start, the MP5 is just too low. If stuff hits the fan on a pull you can drain your mana like no other. Just today on a boss in heroic Oculus I had to blow mana tide and a pot while healing. That's with 16k mana and around 450 MP5 while casting.

Heriocs are a pretty big step up now. Not sure if it's the mechanics of wrath or just the fact that people aren't doing heroics in T5 anymore, but they seem to be much harder.

Of course it all depends on the tank and people, but you can't expect to always have a really good geared group. Alot of the fights that I've been in (10 man up to Malygos and 25 man up to Naxx) are pretty long lasting and that seems to be the name of the game now.

There's no shortage of MP5 mail gear out there now. Pretty much every instance drops 1 or 2 mail items with MP5 and if he wants to PvE heal then he's going to need to atleast get some resto (MP5) gear instead of full elemental (crit) gear.
