Not a bad idea IF you have enough mp5 to last you through a boss fight. 4-600 haste is also desirable depending on what youre healing, but it comes with the gear most of the time.

The only spec who can honestly benefit from gemming pure Int is Enh, IMO.

Yes, really. I'm not saying gemming partial Int isn't a good idea (as in Int +MP5), I'm saying that in my opinion the overall benefit you get from gemming pure INT isn't that good with Resto or Elemental versus gemming for Haste.
Punk...why are you linking non-Shaman abilities for this argument?

Yeah, a bigger mana pool for resto is terrible. I need to re-gem.

Mana tide is a Shaman ability
Resplenishment and king is a non shaman ability, but you will have these buff in raid so why not? They both scale with Int (as mana tide do)
Both king and resplenishment will give you a bigger mana pool (via regen or pure mana)
mana-less shaman don't heal
:)
If mana is not a problem for you, its not that much usefull, but undergeared resto shaman will benefit a lot from gemming pure int, int-Mp5 Int-SP

As a very broad rule of thumb, resto doesn't need to gem spell power.
Do you mind elaborating? Not saying you're wrong, just trying to understand your reasoning for saying this.

How much haste is ok for a resto shaman?
400, 450, maybe?

Enhancement gains AP from Int and a sliver of spell crit.
Resto gains Spellpower, mana regen,and spell crit.
Everyone saying to do mp5 over intellect is simply myopic. Intellect is better in every way than mp5 in gems unless the blue gem will get you an mp5 socket bonus.
If you need big heals you gem spellpower. If you need throughput you gem haste. If you need regen you gem intellect.

If you need big heals you gem spellpower. If you need throughput you gem haste. If you need regen you gem intellect.
And you never gem pure mp5.

And if the blue slot will get you an mp5 bonus. Mp5 gem+socket mp5 on gear is very rarely worth less than pure intellect would get you. It's just the gem itself that can't stack up for regen.
