I've just started using a resto shaman for healing, and as he is a lot higher level than the rest of my team (for now) I've only been using a fraction of his abilities.
(earth shield and lesser healing wave).

I've researched what I could on the forum, but it's very scattered amongst lots of other threads, and didn't quite answer things comprehensively enough for me.

So I thought it would be a good idea to start a very specific thread so I (and others can benefit from more experienced boxers resto shaman knowledge).

My questions are :

1. Pre Pull. How do you prep the tank for the fight. Is it just earth shield and go, or do you pop other abilities too (that heal over time ability that I cant remember the name of )
2. Fight start. You've started the fight, what's the first thing you do. (Do you pop a chain heal for the proc?)
3. Ongoing healing. What's the bread and butter healing rotation you use - Healing wave mixed with Chain heals, just healing wave, lesser healing wave for a quick top up or something else?
