Other issues with the specs are entirely separate from this particular issue, and this is not a targeted nerf at Shaman; it's a balance shift for all hybrids, since hybrids are intended to have SOME healing potential, but not STRONG healing potential. And really; Enhancement is doing fine. It's been fine in PvP, and is doing very well in PvE. I doubt this change (which isn't as egregious as people are making it out to be) will ruin Enhancement for PvP. The issue is primarily Elemental, and while it's going to hurt Elemental, the issue with that spec isn't that their healing isn't strong enough. Because the off-healing IS strong.
