"I've seen nearly all 10-man content healed by a single healer once the raid is on farm. "

Regular modes = all 10-man content now? Because I can't think of a single heroic fight I'd like to solo-heal -- even Halfus has the big burst damage in the beginning. Mayyyybe a Holy Priest with H Chim? Or possibly Twin Dragons, if people are very good about Twilight Blasts? That's about all I can think of.

Not to mention I don't think there's any way you can solo-heal Conclave, Al'akir or Nef, regular mode or not, just because of the mechanics.

Less than half =/= nearly all, just sayin'.

Sorry, I know this is nitpicky, but there is such a thing as too much hyperbole.

Also, having a single cooldown for every big damage spike -- like Electrocute, since you mentioned it, or Maloriak's red phase fire pre-nerf and pre-overgearing, or Cho'gall after he gets his elemental buffs -- can be amazing, but it doesn't happen too often in 10-mans. You gloss over number of cooldowns so quickly, but it's actually a pretty big advantage.

(P.S. I was in a 10-man strict guild. Thanks for dismissing us out of hand! Heroic LK before all the ICC buffs were out, that sure was easy for us 10-man groups. Trying to 2-heal that at 10~15% buff without a Holy Pally was definitely one of my favorite WoW experiences!)
