Hi, i am trying run 4 enhancement shamans along with a frost DK, and I see that spending 8 points into restoration really boosts the healing I can get out of my shamans MW5 procs.

When having...
[Spark of Life] (3/3)
Increases your healing done by 6% and your healing received by 15%.

This on adds to self healing with 21,9% according to EJ and not just 21%

and

[Focused Insight] (3/3)
After casting any Shock spell, your next heal's mana cost is reduced by 75% of the cost of the Shock spell, and its healing effectiveness is increased by 30%.

The 8 sec buff you get after casting a shock would be up most of the time, since shocks are a part of normal rotation.


Raw testing unbuffed shows something like this.

Greater Healing Wave without resto points 14-15K
Greater Healing Wave with the resto points 21-23K (Crits up to 33K)

And i cant see a huge loss in DPS specing away from talents in the elemental tree.

Might not be as useful running 5 shamans, but with just 4 and a DK it seams to help alot.



As a side note I'am also trying to figure out if i really need:
[Unleashed Rage] (2/2)
Increases your expertise by 8, and increases all party and raid members' attack power by 10% while within 100 yards of the Shaman.

..on all 4 shamans or if i could go with just one. How much do i gain from the 8 expertise in PVP?

Thoughts?
