"Introducing that element when Blizzard is so fond of encounters with everyone in the raid taking hideous damage worries me more than a little."

I'm fairly certain they said at some time in the past that the reason for the excessive raid damage was due to the high-hitting-no-oom healers. One would hope in a world where mana mattered and we had to pick and choose our spells more carefully, those all-the-raid-gets-smacked-around-for-10-seconds events wouldn't occur as often or hit for as much.

You're right. GC said in the linked forum posts that the biggest challenge for healers using every single GCD available to have a heal inc or else someone is going to die. Thats not how I think healers should play, nor, it seems, does GC think that way either. I'm also very excited to see healing become less whack-a-mole and require more precision and accuracy.
