Cataclysm Druid Class Preview: Restoration

I've been really excited to see what kind of new stuff we get for cataclysm and had my theories on what might happen. Today the preview came out and... well I'm pissed. Why? well this should explain it:

Unlike the other healers, Restoration druids will not be receiving any new spells. They have plenty to work with already, and our challenge instead is to make sure all of them have a well-defined niche.

~MMO-Champion

So we don't get new toys we get to do the same old thing again in cataclysm... /yawn.

Ok so I guess there is a little bit of good news but not enough to make up for the fact that everyone is getting fun new skills except us.

Additionally, we would like to update the Tree of Life model so that it feels more exciting when you do decide to go into that form. Our feeling is that druids rarely actually get to show off their armor, so it would be nice to have at least one spec that looked like a night elf or tauren (and soon troll or worgen) for most of the time.

~MMO-Champion

Lastly there was one more thing mentioned in the preview about the resto druids and that is:

Restoration druids will have a new talent called Efflorescence, which causes a bed of healing flora to sprout beneath targets that are critically healed by Regrowth.

~MMO-Champion

So I guess we have a new effect that can trigger additional healing but it hardly counts as a new skill, it will just happen on its own from time to time. Though it could be awful exciting if it also heals nearby targets that are in the 'flora'. If this is true I am probably going to be using Regrowth a lot more often. In my opinion it still doesn't make up for the fact that we don't get a new toy though.

Keep in mind that this is just a preview and they could always change things up or add a new skill for us, so cross your fingers. There are also a few things that look like they could help in raids even though they aren't resto-based skills. Stampeding Roar increases the movement of all allies by 40% for 8 seconds. This could have been useful on the Sindragosa fight, just pop into bear form and give your whole raid a speed boost. So we will have to experiment but I hope they end up giving us more to play with.

lol that actually sounds cool and if we could spread the word and let blizz know. but idk. by (my server) do you mean everyone come to zangarmarsh or were supposed to like have it happening on every server? If we got people to actually do it which would be hard, maybe we could persuade them to give us new toys :D
