"able to spam endlessly at that cost."

Which is what the original intent of the healing changes was. It was supposed to be "heal as needed, use huge or fast heal as needed and THOSE will mana drain you if you spam them. ".

We were supposed to be able to never run OOM if we stuck to the standard heal. So good healers used the right tool for the job and paid attention to what was called for. Now, it won't matter how good you are at judging if a big or quick heal is REALLY necessary because even the standard heal is draining you. So instead of healers being able to moderate the drain rate it is a clock. Does DPS have the moxie to beat the healers being OOM or do you let people die to maybe win?

Warlocks, enhance and any other DPS that can self heal win in the second environment.

A DP should never run out of resources doing the simple rotation. A tank should never either. So why is it okay for a healer to run out with the basic heal?
