		<description>Whoops didn&#039;t check back until today.

I start the fight with a regrowth on the tank + rejuv. I&#039;ll likely throw a lb on him as he runs in. If I expect that there will be damage on the party I&#039;ll slap a rejuv on them as well. 

I then use wildgrowth on cooldown (don&#039;t worry about overheal - this isn&#039;t MC). I&#039;ve gotten to a gearing level that I will use swiftmend on dps (or myself) and just use nourish to even out the tank&#039;s health.

And I do use lb to smooth out damage across many targets if my mana looks promising.</description>

		<description>So...

I hate to call it a rotation, but would a good way of starting out a fight be to throw a regrowth and a rejuv on the tank, then throw rejuvs on everyone else?

Then use wildgrowth and swiftmends primarily for keeping the tank health up?  And keep the rejuvs up on everyone?

Do you use Lifebloom outside of when you get a CC proc?</description>

		<description>Okay best advice I can give is to use wildgrowth. A LOT. If you&#039;re nourish spamming then you&#039;re healing like a paladin. Which is fine...but it doesn&#039;t play to a druid&#039;s strengths. I use regrowth on the tank and will keep a rejuv on him/her at all times. Nourish is what I use in between swiftmends if I don&#039;t think a Lifebloom bloom will bring him back up. If you&#039;re worried about spending your swiftmend (which you shouldn&#039;t but as a new healer I know I worried about not having it for a dps). Otherwise I use wildgrowth all the time even if it is overheal on the dps. Additionally I will slap a rejuv on all party members even if they&#039;re not taking damage in anticipation of damage. And don&#039;t forget the ever useful hitting someone with a lifebloom if you get a clearcast proc to get some cheap mana back. Tranquility is great if everyone is taking damage - use barkskin if you expect to take damage that would interrupt the channel.

Don&#039;t worry about threat - any tank worth their salt will be able to keep the mobs off of you. If you happen to draw aggro - you do have an aggro drop - shadowmeld is a great way to drop aggro. If shadowmeld doesn&#039;t work then make sure you have barkskin keybound for some extra mitigation.

Let me know if you need more...</description>

		<description>I would love any advice you have to offer.

I think that, largely, I need practice.  Healing a heroic is massively different from healing a hunter and his pet, which is all I&#039;ve been doing for the last fifteen levels.</description>
