Resto Shaman Spec advice

[Lyonheart]

I am going to make one of my shaman resto for heroics. I know its not "needed" but Since I only heal with her in instances anyway, why not get the most out of healing, right? So I'm s=not sure how to spec. Check my link and critique it if you will. As a note, I took instant ghost wolf because I have it on my ele shams and like its usefulness in a few situations ( another topic ) I did not take the restorative totems for a few reason. As ele spec 4xmana or healing totems seem to do more than enough. I did not take mana tide because I know I will forget to use it, and mana is not much of an issue for me now. should be less with one being resto, right? Anyway, what do you think of my spec? I linked my char as well, she is not resto yet ( will ding to 80 today and respec ) but I have her wearing her best "resto" gear so far.

future spec? > Resto Sample Spec
Gear>> Resto Gear as of now

I am working any reps that provide head/shoulder enchants and good gear upgrades as well. Thanks in advance for any advice, or constructive criticism 8)

Anyone anyone? I know some of you have a resto sham on your team 8)

Thx fur! looks good.. i have one of my ele shams with imp str totem, but I'm going to redo it like you did.. for the same reason, in case I bring her on a raid. looks like a good build 8)

On another note. Do you use a castsequence macro to heal in your box team? or have separate buttons dedicated to heal? When i was healing while leveling, i just had a sequence macro with healing wave and commas in between to keep from over healing, with /use trinks as well. worked great pre-heroics. But resto has some more healing stuff like riptide, wanting to CH to get faster/better HWs ect.

definitely swap your healing way talents for the Nature's Blessing, as you will end up overhealing by retarded amounts already if you are using Healing Wave, and I would put get elemental weapons and shields, giving you much better earth shields, and water shield procs. You are going to be hard pressed for mana in tough heroics, and with certain groups, but Chain heal will still end up being a major healing spell for you.

sweet! thx for info guys! i just cleared UK..wiped on trash a few times being stupid, but one shotted all bosses 8) I think I will take the advice to change from healing ways to the imp shields. I over healed a ton. but had a blast! And it was the daily today 8)
