I think you mean Surging, not Uplift. Lol

...Those durations are different. 115/8 (SooM) is not greater than 110/6 (EM). :P
However, good observation that they're pretty close now.

I don't know what you mean about comparing for one target.
I suppose you are right, though; with PoM you could prepare for something like Fiery Edge pretty well (curse it for being a talent that we won't have until Klaxxi is old content...). In between those big, long-cooldown RNG bursts, though, yeah, Druid seems much better at reacting. Viewing prep (MW) vs. reaction (Drd) as the specs' strengths is a good, interesting viewpoint. I knew I was missing something
It seems to me, though, that a reactionary HoT class would have less overheal, or at least less punishing overheal. I don't have much to back that up though because I don't know Druid well enough.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't saying they're better at proactive healing, though. I was saying they probably suffer from RNG due to long HoT durations just like we do, but probably not as much.

In PvE, if you're casting ReM when someone is in danger of dying, you are most definitely making a player error. You should be doing SooM->SM to save them. I have said since ten forevers ago that this is basically the only circumstance in PvE where you should delay a ReM cast (without PoM) or sit at full ReM charges (with PoM). The latter can also be mitigated with better play.
