My problem with my resto druid is the enormous amount of setup before it seems like any healing gets done. If the tank runs in before I have a chance to stack LB, that's 3 GCDs I lose while they're taking damage (which usually results in a LB, HT/Nourish, LB, HT/Nourish, LB sort of pattern from me, so I can keep their health up while I stack the HoT), plus the 2 GCDs from Rejuv + Swiftmend, or even just HoTing someone and then having to use a direct heal because they're still taking damage or whatever. When I play my druid, I really feel like I'm fighting my GCD is really what it comes down to (and my druid's gear isn't that great, so his haste is lower than I'd like, which I know is part of the problem), especially compared to my other healers (I have one of all four healing classes at LFR-level).

WoL separates LFR from normal and heroic modes.

What um, what utility are druids missing? Is it because they are the only healer without an absorption mechanic? (Forgive me if that have a shield mechanic, I'm not aware if they have one, I think they still don't but I don't play resto druid.)

In terms of raw healing, the meters show druids are doing just fine, except that paladins appear to be OP, with holy radiance being the culprit compared to the other classes' aoe heals.

I'm just curious as to what utility resto druids feel like they are missing though, because I've never felt like they lacked utility.

Druids are the only healer class with neither a tank cooldown nor a raid mitigation cooldown, which on some fights hurts them a lot. I think that this is supposed to be made up for by their incredibly powerful raid healing cooldown, but it doesn't always work like that. Getting targetable Barkskin in MoP will help though.
