Healing meters don't suck. They're useless as a tool to monitor a healer's effectiveness, but they don't suck. They should be viewed as nothing more than an extra little tool to watch while raiding, nothing more.

I wish it could track effective heal per mana used. Now there's a stat that would provide some value.

Our COH priests CONSTANTLY top the effective heals charts, AND the overheals charts. Why? Because as soon as someone gets so much as a bruise, they spam COH. Yes, this gets them some good effective heals, but it's mostly overkill. Here's the big difference, though: they all call for innervates. Therefore, they're outhealing me (druid) by a small margin, yet it's requiring double the mana to do it.

So, someone put this stat in for me into WWS or recount, please (effective heals per mana used).
