Hi,
Been leveling my Resto up to 80, mainly by questing and a few of the lower lvl WOLK instance up to VH. Always been resto except for a few levels at moonkin so hopefully know my craft quite well.
My Spell Power in Tree form is around 1100, depending on what trinket I have in place.
Don't know how to link my armour but my character is Trinite in the EU Laughing Skull server.
My lv80 guildies are desparate (small guild) for me to start doing heroics with them as they have been pugging a healer up till now.
Am I suitably geared or where can I go to pick up some easy gear? Happy to run dailies to get reputation to buy or is BG another option? Obviously can do regular instances but often the item you need does not drop or you loose the roll so not always best use of time.
Appreciate constructive criticism
Thanks
Jazz

I was in the same situation but just a few days ago, and I think for the first time in a long time playing my resto druid has become fun again. I mean the challenge of healing a heroic without the greatst of gear has proven to increase my allertness, and really have to speculate and focus as to where the damage is coming from can lead to some intense moments. As for the gear the fisrt Heroic I ran was Nexus and was actulay lucky enough have the Mace drop and subsequently on a very abrreviated Nax run I was able to pick up 10 man T7 legs. Those two additions have lifted my SP to 1500+ which i understand is still low... but I like that, it just means i have that much more time to enjoy healing all the other heroics and if the gear dosnt drop im ok with that. I rushed everything with my mage only to discover that once I had achieved what I was going for the fun was kinda gone. In the mean time you have the right idea with BG's and Arena's plus dailies for rep but I think Heroics are the way to go for fun, and if Gear is all your after ive seen alt's get fully epic sets in one night alt runs through Nax 10 and 25's

Honestly, it'll be hard, but it can be done. You know what you are at now, you have no unrealistic expectations.
Your Guildies know that you aren't quite ready for heroics, but if the Tank is well geared and the dps know wtf to do, then you should be ok. Just stay on your toes and use all the skills you have available to you.
I ran Heroic Nexus in my level 70 t4-t5-badge gear with 1159 + spellpower before I got around to putting together my offset from tanking. The sweet part about tanking is now my healy offset has 1559 + spellpower unbuffed :P
Anyway, as long as everyone knows that you're doing it for THEM, then they can't be anything but happy that you give it your best.
You'll notice huge differences between starting at 1100 SP and getting up to 1500 SP in short order picking up some key upgrades.
Make sure you wear a tabard so you can pick up rep rewards quickly as well.
Good luck!
