My rough maths tells me that the break even point will be at 3 healers for this strategy. so at 3 healers 20 spirit on the resto shaman is worth 20 spirit to the raid, or better put 6.66~ to each healer (including themselves). Assuming that mana tide is used on CD.

Seeing that I can almost say with some certainty that its 50/50 for 10mans with 3 healers, and doesn't really matter either way. How ever for a 25man raid this will likely be a requirement of any serious raiding guild.

Either way, spirit on a shaman is instantly worth more, to the raid, on that resto shaman, than to any other healer.

@Saeadame the point is, that by being able to avoid spirit, the other healers will be able to stack more HPM stats, like mastery and crit. So while they will have to heal more, they will be able to gear as such that they get more healing out of the healing they already do, with out expending more mana.
