Last night we went to Mount Hyjall and killed the first three bosses, then tried Azgalor and got him down to 50%. Need some practice on the Doom thingie. Penance is my second most important healing spell in my Recount data. It is faster than Greater Heal (mostly because it applies heals gradually already) and therefore extremely handy in situation where the tank needs his heals now. With almost 24% holy crit for some reason I had a lot more critting than I thought I should. This gave a lot of Divine Aegis bubbles, which are just awesome. Like Matt says, tried it out now and do it in a raid setup to get a feel for the full effect. PS: Spam healing the MT still made me top healing meters if I really wanted to. And mana is of no issue, even when spam healing. I don't encourage this but it gives a good view of what power there is, should it be needed.

I estimated about 30% of the group had never been there. Very fun to get the chance to see this content. (which was the main reason to go with so many "newbies") Last night we saw BT, we stopped before Mother Shiraz, seeing we ran out of time and were unsure about our health if we would go in with with low or nill shadow resist gear. (anyone tried after patch?) All in all I am really happy Bliz made this change, it gave me ánd many others a chance to see this content at least once.

You said you were outhealed by healing stream totems and ret's? Was this because of shields, or just lack of damage? I would really like to hear more about Disc's raid viability. I like to run around in disc, but my fellow raiders normally cringe when they see I'm disc (deeper than Imp:DS). Unfortunatly, due to the condition of my server, the only time I am going to get to heal as Disc will be on the Headless Horseman event, and atm, my renews/shield is all thats needed to keep people alive.

It was my first time in a raid with my new deep disc spells. I too a break from our progression raid for awhile cause of work. Penance worked great and I see some use for that spell. Worked as a very good alternative to flash heal. In fact, I moved flash heal out of my primary finger range and put penance in its place to force its use. Divine Aegis was fun to see proc and it did its job a few times when needed. I have never been one to depend on chance spells. I agree with your comments and look forward to playing with all the possibilbe builds. We raided Ogremar, Thunderbluff, Undercity, and Silvermoon for the wrath of the Alliance achievment.
