I'm not sure why you didn't mention Aessina's Blessing as a fairly important change. 50% haste means you're getting at least 11 ticks from Wild Growth if you cast it right after Swiftmend (and, we don't know if the haste will effect Efflorescence, although I suspect not). This will lock resto druids into a fairly firm AoE rotation of Swiftmend > Wild Growth (8 sec) Wild Growth (7 sec) Swiftmend > Wild Growth. And, this makes the WG glyph almost completely undesirable because you either have to skip the middle WG (which is probably an output loss) or the rotation becomes quite clunky. With weaving in Lifebloom renewals and Rej/Reg so you have a target to swiftmend, you want to ideally fit 6 rej in between the first WG and the middle WG, but if you have to use up clearcasting procs or refresh LB during that time, you have to be keeping an eye out because you MUST cast WG as soon as it comes off CD, or you're not going to have a tight enough rotation tohave maximum AoE output. And, maybe adhering to that tight rotation won't matter so much in some situations, but I suspect that with us wanting to cast the "better" WG as much as possible, it will make 8, 7, 8, 7, 8 the clock that RDruids will be running during AoE heavy fights in Mists.
