Hey - I am wondering what you guys would go for, 2p t8 + 2p t9 or the 4p t8 ?
My concern is, that without my 4p t8 set bonus, my Chain Heal would be too slow. I am more often than not raid healing and atm my CH is about 1,8 sec. with totems. However the first set bonus on t8 and t9 both buff Riptide and if Glyphed aswell I guess it could be really powerfull.
Don't get the t9 pants.
The main reason is you want as much haste as possable if your raid healing. Especially if your going to lose your 4 t8 set bonus.
Looking at your current set up you would lose way to much cast time of chain heal losing 4 t8.
Therefore until you have 4bits of t9 or ToC/badge gear that all has haste on it can you really consider switching and keeping the same amount of cast time.
I'm at 840 or so now and I have just got back chain heal to 1.8. But then haste is so good it also helps for all other spells we use, as theres not that many fights where you should just spam chain heal.
