A raid¡¯s second chance. You can bring back tanks and healers with this resurrect even if you¡¯re in combat. Druids now have a second resurrect that¡¯s non-combat like Priests, Shamans and Paladins, but they¡¯re still one of the few classes that can resurrect party members in combat. Keep this hotkeyed.

Even if the difference between Healing Touch¡¯s and Regrowth¡¯s mana cost is 5% in the early and middle game, chances are that you¡¯ll be able to cast Regrowth at least one more time compared to Healing Touch. And with monsters pounding on you, it¡¯s better to wait 3 seconds because of damage delay to Regrowth than 5-6 seconds to Healing Touch.

And now Druids aren¡¯t sitting in the back of the resurrection train! Now they can resurrect players the minute they fall out of combat, expanding the number of classes that players would be more willing to take on a raid where resurrect-capable healers are absolutely necessary.
Yes, yes, this Druid can save you both. Stop asking her to decide.
Swiftmend
Acquisition Requirement: 5 points in Gift of Nature, 30 points in Restoration Talents, 1 point in Swiftmend Talent

Consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target, healing an amount equal to their over-time heal
|
Swiftmend is one of the few options you have for healing your target instantly. It¡¯s cheap and effective, but will only consume Rejuvenation OR Regrowth, so don¡¯t get any ideas about the programming behind this one. For best utilization in emergencies, Regrowth and Swiftmend work best. However, if you have time, let the timers for Rejuvenation or Regrowth to run out before you cast Swiftmend. There¡¯s no difference in the healing done by a fresh Rejuvenation or Regrowth and nearly-expired Rejuvenation or Regrowth.

The cost of this spell is much higher than its mana cost belies. Without the talent points, using this spell to save your raid means you¡¯re most likely going to be the target and drop dead in the next few seconds. If you want the maximum effect without the interrupts, cast Barkskin before Tranquility.
Tree of Life Form
Acquisition Requirement: 40 points in Restoration Talents, 5 points in Empowered Rejuvenation Talent, 1 point in Tree of Life Talent
Mana Cost: 28% of base mana
Casting Time: Instant
Range: Self
Special: Frees caster of Polymorph and Movement Impairing Effects. You can only cast Restoration, Innervate and Barkskin spells.

If you¡¯re a Restoration Druid, you¡¯ve got to be a walking tree too. The bonuses provided by the Tree of Life will be felt even with lower-powered healers. Since you¡¯ll be a Restoration Druid, you won¡¯t really have to think much about your spells in the other schools.
Restoration Druids are renowned for blending in with their environment.

It¡¯s another area-heal-over-time spell, but does not require the caster to be within the center of that healing area. While Tranquility has higher health regeneration, the Druid still needs to have party members in range and must channel that healing spell, whereas Wild Growth can be casted and not be given a second glance.
