What healer for 4 locks? PvP

[Shodokan]

Curious what people think would be best for this comp.

I was thinking resto druid because well.... wild growth.

[Lilith]

Would say priest.
Spec them demo and the priest buffs will give them a cupple hundred extra spellpower

I went with a Disc Priest, the team is still lower level.
I like that all five can mana drain, and I'll have access to Mass Dispel vs Bubbles.

If you want a mobile team (Affliction), you'll only really consider:
Disc Priest vs Resto Druid.

If your team will be Destruction (or possibly Demo), a plant yourself and DPS mode can work.
In which case, I'd look hard at a Shammy, mainly for Tremor & Bloodlust.

Mass dispell is nice and all, but i think the movement of the druid would help quite a bit. Even as destro you won't be stationary the entire time and your kill speed will be so fast that it isnt even funny.

Disc gets you Holy Nova on the run, Renew as a top-up effect, PW: Shield for mitigating incoming damage. They get massive haste after casting shield. Have a Fear Ward and Mass Dispel vs Fear attacks. Pain Suppression is good if someone is focused.

You'll probably not be able to play them even close to optimal, when controlling four locks at once.

The druid has Rejuvenation and Lifebloom as instants, which are also HOTs. I'd probably use Regrowth for the main heal, because of talent support. Wild Growth is very strong too. Tree gets a lot of armor, which will help against melee. You cannot Mass Dispel a bubble away, or use it to quickly negate a fear-bomb. The druid can be stealthed and nearby ready to heal. Druid will have Battle Rez and Innervate which are fairly unique features.

Both classes have a non-combat rez, decent buffs that are roughly equal. Both are very mobile healers who are boxing friendly. I'd personally go with Disc, but say that a Resto Druid is very close for pvp. Shammy bring totems which are nice, but imo aren't as strong of a healer for a boxer. And imo, the pally is the worst healer when the boxer is controlling them, especially for a highly mobile warlock team.

Is disc a big enough upgrade over a druid to warrant me spending another.... 24-30 hours leveling it to 68 to catch up to my warlocks?

IMO, it is a preference thing.
If I had one and not the other, I'd go with what I have.

They are both highly mobile healers.
Which is what you're looking at, for a primarily affliction style.
Both have AoE heals on the run.
