The only healer that has enough CDs to rotate in 10 man trough many burst phases is the Resto Shaman, but they can't design encounters that need to have a class in 10 man, so they don't. That's why shamans are not in most 10 man comps, their CDs are overkill, their sustained HPS sucks. Using Tree of Life as a throughput CD in 10 man results almost always in a overkill for most of it's duration. I can't talk about 25 man, but for 10 man, I don't see ToL being a good CD in almost any fight. Jinrokh, as I already said. Council of Elders could be too, to heal Tanks and the Frostbite target. In almost all situations, FoN will result in a better sustained healing and its is smart casting. I'm not in a favor with a actual healing scenario with too many smart casts and healing CDs, but if they are here, we should use it. 3 Treants at the same time saves people lives.
Tips for FoN uses:
Horridon -> 2nd door-> I use FoN to heal for me while DPSing the Venon priests. The Healing in the beginning of this door is really easy, and the extra DPS on Venon priests is really good.
Iron Qon --> In the 2ng phase, after the windstorm, i put 3 treants before blinking trough the storm and Tranquility. If some1 being bad is taken by the tornado, the treants will heal him.
Twins --> Treants can heal the tank with the nightmare without giving you corrupted healing =D.
Lei shen --> In 10 man, is a common strategy 2 quadrants with healers and 2 quadrants without, just tanks and if needed a dps to soak. You can put treants to heal other quadrants and resume your positioning in your quadrant.
Jikun --> Treants extra Healing on tank when Jikun combos Dawn Draft and Talon Rake.
Overall, there is many fights in 10 man, while 2 healing meanly, that you can put treants to heal someone that is out of range and resume your positioning. I use it a lot, and I really like it.
