A second article would be appreciated that explains things like:
* What glyphs are good and how do they change how I heal with swiftmend and regrowth f ex
* Lifebloom rolling after the change, letting the 3rd one bloom for effiency
* Tank healing with Healing Touch – what talents and glyphs should be taken and why do this at all

Being a somewhat advanced followup it could also handle things like
* A few really good macros to make your HT instant in one click and to heal without having to switch target from the tank
* A few tips on addon programs that helps you keep track of your HoTs

I know I am asking for much but since this guide is so handy I think it deserves something like a hint to the new player as where to go from here to make healing even more efficient, effective and smart.

One thing I also have to question a bit. You say that when getting Lifebloom a good tactic would be to start out stacking 3x Lifeblooms on the tank before adding in the other HoTs. First I’d like to know if you by that mean letting one Lifebloom almost reach the end of it’s duration then another one and then the third reaching a full strong 3-stack. Or do you mean casting 3 Lifeblooms rapidly in succession first only to get the full 3-stack up? Second, wouldn’t it be smarter to start with Regrowth that has a cast time before the tank pulls and follow up with Rejuvenation or Lifeblooms after that?

Again, cheers for a really nice starter guide. Appreciated.

I would’ve loved to have found this guide when I first started her… but I’ll definitely save it and refer to it in the future. I’ve had so much fun leveling as a healer that I’m already dreaming of rolling out a priest or horde druid once I hit 80. The lower levels were especially fun with groups that seemed to all be newbies at their class.

I was a little worried about leveling resto instead of feral, but with the LFG it seems to be going quickly (maybe even too quickly?), and the experience and lessons I’ve learned along the way have been invaluable! I hope to be an amazing healer by end game. Thanks again for the tips!

I recently decided to blow the dust off of a long forgotten Druid alt that was sitting at level 15 for a year or more. I read this, respecced resto, and have made it to level 24 now without ever leaving Dalaran.

It turns out that since most of my healing has been on a holy priest I feel really comfortable rolling my two Hots and using glyphed healing touch in the same way I used Prayer of Mending, Renew, and Flash heal.

As the last poster mentioned, I would love to see a breakdown on how you would talent at different levels, say at 10 level increments or so.

Anyhow, once again, nice post.
Dechion´s last blog ..Oldies but goodies

I too wondered over here from Daily Druid, looking for a Medic Field Manual for trees. I have been leveling my tree dual specced Feral/Resto since dual became available, and have been learning how to heal as a tree in pugs haphazardly, but fairly successfully. Then I got life bloom, and I KNEW I needed help. I was…LIFEBLOOM BABY! YEAH!…*scratches head*…ok…how the heck do I use it in my rotation??? I knew about rolling, but not how or when or how often…etc. Thank you so much, this put things into perspective for me.
