Instancing Healing Build

This is a good build for healing in instances and is also a raid viable build. We go just far enough into the discipline tree to get inner focus & meditation. While mental agility and absolution would both be welcome in our build the rest of of the points in the holy tree are just to nice to give up.

First thing people might notice about this build is that it lacks the healing focus talent. While this talent is very nice I don't see its overall effectiveness in an instance and certainly in a raid. In general, the idea is for the healer NOT to get hit. You may consider putting points here if you are leveling solo with this spec.

Other than the healing focus talent, this is a pretty standard healing build. Points in inspiration do great things for your tank and considering this can proc off of any of the healed targets from circle of healing, this is a must have. A 25% armor increase is very substantial over those 15 seconds considering the available crit rating in WotLK. We go to the very bottom for guardian spirit picking up circle of healing along the way. A new talent for WotLK, serendipity, provides an excellent way to regain mana during long fights. Over heals generated from unexpected crits will feed your mana pool as well as proc-ing the inspiration buff. Everything else is std. stuff!

Btw, for healers I would highly recommend picking up the Renew, Prayer of Healing and Circle of Healing Glyphs.
