OoC, are you basing this on anything more than just the OP's log?
I'm looking at the OP's log (also, I'm guessing that Roks = Dangerfield? - dammit, man, forum sig!!!:
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/e...=12197&e=12584
I see that Corixa's HR did more total healing than Roks' did. It looks like Roks cast at least twice the number of HRs that Corixa did. And, I notice that Roks had more over-healing (with HR). I also notice that HR alone isn't what pushed Corixa's total healing over the last fistweaver in the raid; AG had a significant role, as well. Lastly, I notice that Corixa has 15% more spell haste than Roks does. And, if we get the same spell crit as we do melee crit, then Corixa has more of that, as well.
I'm not ready to draw conclusions yet, but I'll make the following suppositions:
- The glyph of healing storm is doubling HR's effectiveness, for enhancement.
- Enhancement's greater inherent haste levels are making HR tick more quickly for enhancement, producing more (effective) healing.
- The ability to instantly cast a HR (with planning), with a 5x MSW stack, gives enhancement a strategic advantage, as to when to place HR (i.e., response-healing, versus anticipatory healing).
- The above, combined with higher spell haste (and crit?) lends to enhancement yielding more effective healing from HR, versus a resto shaman's HR getting sniped and then going into over-healing.
- Resto's mastery is largely ineffective, in relation to other healers' mechanics, resulting in HR healing for less than it should, relative to enhancement's HR.
- This comparison of enhancement HR, versus resto HR, is being made of one of the top enhancement players, and will skew the average, of what most enhancement shaman actually do, with HR and AG.
So, Tibbee, if your conclusion is coming from top-end logs, then I can agree that HR looks overpowered. But, on the average, I don't think enhancement shaman are consistently out-healing healer specs. Also, in order for Corixa to pull this off, it took a very specific set of events.
If anything, it's either the glyph of healing storm that's OP, or it's resto's failboat mastery mechanic that's a glaring failure. For now, I'm going with the latter.
