On the bright side, you can start using healing spring totem, which is getting buffed I think.

It's getting very slightly buffed by 20% - but it won't really make a difference since its range is still pitiful and it's still party-only.

It's getting a buff in the range - from 20 yds to 30 yds - and the increase in restorative totems increases to 45% extra effect from 25% extra.

If anything, resto shaman are getting a big buff from the regen nerf and elemental shaman don't really care.
All the new healing gear is stacked with mp5, which is critical for shaman healers. We will be OP again.
Chain heal FTW!

Having other classes nerfed is not a "buff". Plus we're losing Mana Spring totem.
And depending on your build mp5 can be anything from good to totally worthless.

How so?
It's getting buffed to match BoW, but will no longer stack. We're not losing it.
It just means we can use BoK instead, or finally use our healing totem, which has also been buffed.

We are losing the additional mana regen that the totem gives us due to it -stacking- with BoW. In 3.1 it will not stack.
Current = BoW + Mana Spring = 109mp5 + 106mp5 = 215mp5
3.1 = BoW or Mana Spring = 109mp5 = 109mp5
So, uh, despite the fact that they haven't deleted the Mana Spring spell, we have lost its effect. (BoK > BoW anyway, and HST is still crap)

The mana spring not stacking with BoW means mostly 2 things:
1. Less mana regen overall (assuming you have paladins and shamans in the raid), as desired by Blizzard
2. More freedom in group setup and buffs, if you have only 1 paladin he can buff all casters with BoK instead and you get the mana spring on top.
You're missing the point on 2. If you only had one paladin he would still give out kings (pre-patch) anyways because the extra intellect means more mana gain through replenishment than wisdom. And if you had 2 paladins you could get both kings and wisdom, and still provide a powerful regen buff to the healers who need it the most.
And we already have a freedom with group setup. You can down any boss currently out (except maybe 3D) without wisdom or kings.
And don't forget 3-
Blizzard is going back on years of totem design that stipulated that totems are powerful stationary group-wide buffs. They justified the totems destructibility and their stationary nature by making them more powerful than normal buffs. However, now that the buffs are becoming equivalent, the justification for totems being stationary and destructible is gone.

Kings is still better through scaling. :\ Fights without replenishment are heck, however they are still doable at the moment. However its Blizzard is making replenishment mandatory.

More importantly, if you can't find 1 ret paladin, there's something wrong with your server.
And of course, no one wants to address #3. :S
