And i seriously doubt undulation is better than torrent if you run echo of elements. My riptides crit for about 700k atm with torrent.
and holy paladins are insane at topping people of. Thats what they do as you kind of hinted yourself. And shamans don't fill in. We need to be the first to heal a target and let the others top people of or your mastery is basically wasted. I rarely focus on topping people of. 1,max 2 spells in a row on a target if they are not doing something special that demands special treatment. Sniping as a shaman is very underrated. Focus on what shamans is strong at, keeping people alive, not being full Health.
I have tried undulation in both raids and m+. Sure we raid in different Environments since you raid small hc raids and i mainly do mythic raiding. Sure, undulation might fit your group better than mine but i still think torrent is better with your healer setup.
As for wellspring I have not tested it yet but i doubt the 5% nerf to CH is enough to make us pick WS instead of hightide. Chain heal is just to strong, atleast in a mythic raiding environment. Will give it a try on my next EN raid and more importantly and relevant in NH. It's so frikking expensive aswell and mana has been a bigger concern then it's been in a long time. Don't forget that we have 2 traits that buff our resurgence on chain heal.
