we DO have an aggro dump. cower isn't great but sometimes its enuf to get u off the top o the charts. i'm thinking that with 2.3s /cancelform it'll become more useful.

I'm glad I have it. I don't use Tranq every time it's up but I can say every time that it gets used, it usually saves a wipe. 60K healing for no extra threat? Can't possibly be a bad thing no matter what the circumstance. And it only costs two points.

Overhealing does not produce threat.

No problem =) I've done too much research into the threat mechanics lately, and am still suffering the after-effects.

One thing I wonder about though: does over-healing cause threat? I would assume not, but I have no proof of that at this time.

Magna: I do see your point, especially when you progress further and further away from 5 mans and Karazhan. Its always good to get the perspective of a druid massively ahead of me in raiding :)

Karthis: Please accept my thanks for the correction, I took great pleasure in informing my other half (our guilds maintankadin) that he was wrong. Its also nice to know that I'm also not quite so doomed if I did cast tranquility in a situation where a lot of mobs might be causing a problem.

A minor quibble. You say:

"Its more likely that only half of the party is being beat upon, so changing the party members to 2, gives us a total of 16k health healed, 16,000 * 0.4 (threat modifier) giving a total of 6400 threat on each mob for you."

That is 6400 threat DIVIDED BETWEEN ALL MOBS EVENLY. Threat from healing is spread out amongst all of the mobs that have you on your threat list.

Improved Tranquility definitely isn't useless, nor are talent points hard to scrounge up for resto druids the way they are for other classes. The problem is that when you move on from 5 mans, where tranquility is a really awesome party saver where the threat aggro is definitely almost necessary, to mainly raiding you'll seldom need it. I can't think of a single situation past Karazhan where popping tranquility would mean death for the druid.
