As a resto shammy, I have seen 2 trains of thought on the secondary stat stacking for healing, and both are effective - stacking haste/spirit and stacking mastery. The stacking of haste past the 916 threshold allows for quicker chain heals and snipe healing on raiders, although the effectiveness of each heal is less than a shaman who stacks mastery. Obviously, this type of healing has to focus on more spirit, as quicker throughput leads to more mana usage. Stacking mastery, on the other hand, allows for more effective heals but slower, especially on fights like chimaeron, which balances out the slower throughput. This will get a big boost when 4.1 hits, but it's pretty effective right now. Having a mix of these 2 healers is pretty nice, and I've seen it effectively used. I'm sure this can be related to the other healing specs as well.
