As you stated earlier in this thread druids have pretty bad talents overall, so the impact isn't as big as other classes' hybrid builds. But it's not such a compromise that it doesn't work at all. However the HotW build is truly capable of decent healing and tanking for all content, which is pretty cool.

The only thing you're really missing out on, are 9% mana reduction from Moonglow, and +10% Healing from Gift of Nature. * Nature's Swiftness is not, as someone suggested, a PvP talent. If all you do is spam HT rank 3/4 for an entire fight, you're (probably) not reaching your full potential. * Regarding the 'druids going oom'-discussion you can always push yourself harder.

The increased crit of Regrowth is, together with 5 pc T2, also pretty sick.

The main advantage of full resto is Swiftmend.

* When it comes to the good ol' 24/0/27 vs full resto discussion, they're both viable but use different playstyles. If you have Theorycraft you can see how much more mana/crit you'd get with HotW.
