Expansion Balancing + Stat Squish = Increased Difficulty?

Honestly, the problem still seems to be healing at this point. They toned it down so that it wasn't completely OP (e.g. 1 heal fills your entire bar), but it's now at the opposite end of the spectrum and it takes my Holy Priest something like 10 Flash Heals to top off my tank from almost dead. I realize that Flash Heal was meant to be a small and expensive heal, but it feels like there isn't any time to cast a bigger spell. /shrug

I do wish I could pull a bit faster in full heirlooms and not have to worry about being dead so quickly -- I find myself tunneling on my party frames to keep people alive more than I'd like and it's affecting how fast I can kill things. I'm also using Lay on Hands much more frequently on trash to keep myself from wiping. This is really good practice and it's keeping me on my toes, but I wonder if this is intended and how the community as a whole is going to react to it.

Try Disc with shield and Holy Nova spam (Holy Nova gives Divine Aegis)..and you get a bit more dps.

on my 40ish mostly dungeon blues the most i could take on was 4 elite pack.. and that's if i constantly use flash heal.. i tried to switch to heal thinking maybe the tone down flash heal.. since i jus need flash heal previously.. makes the other heals useless.. but hey.. heal seems the same as flash heal to me.. with extended cast time and more mana -_-

on my 80ish team running dungeon.. i still feel the same healing is too hard.. and im quite sad that so much has been done to shaman that now.. i dont even know what im looking at expect for the lightning and chain lit spell -_-
