Hello, Me and some friends will be trying out Challenge modes in the next few weeks and im currently gearing for them, im farming heroics to get haste/multistrike as thats what i believe we benefit most from, can anyone please clarify this? as currently i keep getting versatility drops and mastery. Also im unsure on the talent choice.
P.s is there any way of finding my BIS for challenge modes?
Thanks
standard haste+mastery is best or healing healing, haste multi is best for dps
if you just want golds, your main gear from raiding with haste and mastery will be nice
generally you should prolly be looking for haste>mastery>multi>vers>crit imo for just healing if all you want is golds
soul of the forest+germ is generally the best spec, but you can move them around as you see fit and sometimes you'll want to change talents anyways, also cenarion ward, which is usually weak is really good in CMs
typhoon and incapacitating roar will both also be useful talents with NV or HotW for extra damage (usually use NV, helps more often with the harder pulls)
as for bis for dps/times (from shivendu)

bosses will mostly be dps'ing as most of them don't do much damage and the major healing checks will be on trash
also, try to drop spirit and just use drinking for mana
HotW is very powerful on bossfights. I would always spec that. You're almost like an extra dps'er.
Cenarion Ward was also my default choice for CM's. Always nice to apply it on the tank before a pull. Most of the time it's pretty intense tank healing. Keep hots rolling on your tank, don't be afraid to make frequent use of regrowth and hot up your dps if you have spare gcd's. Genesis is actually really good for CM's because you'll sometimes need that high burst healing. Of course don't forget to use your ironbark. It should be available for almost every pull.
Tree Form and SotF are both viable talent choices. I generally went with tree. It's very helpful on big pulls like the first pull in Iron Docks, Auchindoun multi trash pull and several multi trash pulls in Everbloom.
Vortex + Typhoon is also a pretty nice trick to group up a trash pack.
