Hehe I bet :-D I have to say I have no idea how many healers there
actually were, should've counted, but I was a bit shellshocked when I
realised we were all dying, very different to normal!

Hah, yeah, but you may remember how it was newly dinged with 4k...
very very painful (my draenei priest was at that stage last week, oh
the memories, not ;-)) This should improve it, certainly mana seems no
issue to me on beta, always used to be that while levelling I'd
struggle for mana while questing in the last few levels, but not this
time - I struggled for dps and keeping my own health up, but not for
mana!

That's insane :-) None of my alts have been like that, but then I've
never levelled full heirlooms, I level more often in full greys/no
spec, more challenge :-P
