I'm gonna come straight out and say it - anyone saying that druids aren't good healers for <insert ANYTHING here> simply doesn't know how to play one or has no experience with one. They're probably the simplest of all healers, and take zero thought.

If you're like most dual boxers, you have a dps macro you hammer on (gonna be honest not sure what you do with DKs) - you simply need to make a macro for your druid that keeps up lifebloom and rejuv at all times, and uses swiftmend.

For instance

/castsequence [target=focus] Lifebloom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,Rejuvination,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lifebloom,,, ,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,Lifebloom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lif ebloom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lifebloom,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,Swiftmend

Depending on how often you smash your dps key, the number of ,s could be a lot or just a few for you. If your guy is taking a LOT of damage, maybe throw a nourish or regrowth in there somewhere.


Just hammer on that, and if you see the tank getting super low, hit the nourish or regrowth keys too. Like really, Druids are just the easiest healers. I just link that key to the same button as my DPS guys DPS macro, and just hit one button whenever I do instances. I could seriously take off every key from my keyboard except my number 4, and do any instance. I just hammer on that and pull stuff with my paladin.

For bosses, get regrowth and rejuv and 3 stacks of lifebloom rolling before you even engage.


Also for trollgore specifically -

Position him so that he is at the top of the stairs, with your tank below him on the stairs. This is not 100%, but he will kill the trolls that come in, and explode them up with him, and your tank being below him on the stairs will miss most of the corpse explosions. Also for his consume (the aoe that hits your group), just hit wild growth whenever it's up.

I really am quite shocked and confused by this lack of faith in druids - maybe you are all too used to reactive healing. Druids are proactive healers. You simply keep all the HOTs rolling, and hit your oh shit buttons once in a while. It takes no thought whatsoever, and in my opinion is the best 'set it and forget it' healer for a mixed setup.
