There is my profile. Mainly, I want to know if you people think I'm geared well enough for heroics and raids. I healed vault, but from what I understand that is a pretty basic healing situation. Also, is replenish any good? I've been thinking if there are 3 points I should move to try it, but if I'm only gonna switch back there's no point I suppose.

I know there's a sticky, and I read it. But I consider myself pretty well skilled (my last 4 instance runs were all no death...well, except for one with a newbie tank who didn't understand to use AoE techniques in CoT:S), so I don't really how much gear I need before I can start gearing up on raids and heroics...

Also, one side note, while I have your attention....is there some reason no one ever runs HoS? Tried for a week straight to get a group for the achievement without luck.

Anyway, thanks for any replies!

I don't think your gear is up to heroics just yet, you might be able to stumble through a few of the easier ones but you will still find them highly challenging. You need to increase your spell power to at least 1100 in ToL form and increase your mp5, check out the upgrade list here. It's a great list of pre-raid gear. While I know many of the items listed are from heroics, there are still a number of normal, crafted, and quest pieces on the list. Picking up a few items here, and especially replacing your feral gear should help you greatly.

Your talent spec looks fine overall. My only recomendation is to take the 5 points out of Naturalist. You won't find yourself casting Healing Touch very often and when you do it will likely be in combination with Nature's Swiftness, which will make HT instant cast anyways. Instead put those points in Natural Shapeshifter and Master Shapeshifter; the 4% spell power increase will help you more than the .5 sec of HT. Replenish isn't a very strong choice, while I can't recall the numbers off the top of my head the mana, energy, and rage gains are insignificant.

Do you find yourself using HT quite a bit? It seems to me that it would make sense to have either a fully specced HT *or* a fully specced Regrowth but not both. If you're like most people who aren't in 4pcT7 (and then possibly using Nourish) your go-to heal is probably Regrowth, so devoting 8 points into speccing HT up is probably a little silly.

If that's the case I'd agree with the above, I'd definitly suggest at *least* sacrificing 5 of those points for to get 2/2 Master Shapeshifter. But then I'd evaluate Natural Perfection vs. Nature's Swifness/Empowered Touch as well. Dropping NS/ET basically makes HT a no-cast spell -- but with a fully specced Regrowth you'd just be losing a very short cast middle-of-the-road heal (HT w/ NS) for a slightly more powerful middle-of-the-road heal (Regrowth).
