For the most part i have discussed tanking as a druid so far, I am a dual spec healer tank and pretty decent healer for my part.
This post is specifically for healing it, I will be going over tanking this instance at another time.
Healing this instance can be the biggest challenge I think I have ever had. I have done it countless times with out a problem, then the last 2 days i went in there 2 times with the same group(pretty much, sub hunters first time one hunter was alittle dps low) attempting it. Death knight tank(admittedly under geared a little) 25 man lock, 25 man hunter, 10/25 man dk blood and myself, nice guild run.
This ended up being 2 of the toughest runs ive ever done. I dont mean in toc, i mean in the game, Theres times in both of these fights where i healed with everything i had, and it almost wasnt enough.
phase 1 the three champions
We had small issues with poison and the usual but i noticed i was almost out of mana around the end, and had used innervate. Which for me is unheard of, in 10 man uld I use my intervate on dps. Straight and simple, DKs take a lot of damage. They have taken alot of hits and to no fault of their own, they just dont make the greatest of tanks right now. But we got through it with no major problems.
Phase 2 we got the boss who fears. and this is where the problems begin, no shaman or priest to help with fear, no damage eating pally or warrior. It took a few try's but the tank determined that he could use anti magic shield out of the fear, the locks cookies and some healing pots to help keep him up. Healing from a druids perspective on this one sucks. HOT as you may me with big spellpower the ticks were nothing compared to the hits from behind, and i would spend most of my time healing the tank back up to full health, I had to get other the other folks to use cookies potions whatever to get back up. It is always possible Im not the greatest healer, But i dont think that's it. A mix between bad tanking and no help with the fear, I could keep everyone else alive but the tank keep getting hit hard. Esp hard when the tank gets feared and takes hits from behind and cant dodge or parry.
remember to have you group come close together for your Aoe heal right before the fear, that way you have 4 to 5 ticks during the fear and can aoe heal right after,make sure to use regrowth, first heal nourish 2nd regrowth after the fear, all the dots you can get. Try to save tranquility for last boss, hot anyone you can with lifebloom or rejuv before the fear if u can and if you have a big mana pool. Main thing is keep the tank up, my tank was 30k hp and taking hits around 15 to 17k whether chain hits of 7.5 or so who knows, but its a tough encounter. If the fear happened right after those hits its gonna be a tough thing to keep the tank up.
Last boss is cake, heal the tank with hots and group with Wild growth and phase 3 after the explosioin hit tranquiltity after a few seconds of it and go to sleep.
This post is longer than I thought it would be but i hope it gives a better understanding to healing.
see you next time(maybe later tonight) for more druid information,
