That druid rolls with double Solace. It doesn't need mana regen, trust me. If you're going OOM with that pairing, it's time to look at your playstyle first and foremost.

That's the only thing I could find what might be "wrong" with it. Honestly, I don't think anything is wrong with it, but mp5 is the only thing I could think of that could possibly be lacking.
Alex C:
It's honestly a pretty solid gear set. I'd like to see more haste (at the expense of crit, if possible) but that looks mostly like a symptom of having some old ToGC gear and an OK but not amazing cloth belt as opposed to "Ur doing it wrong." I'd take the Sundial over that Chalice in a heartbeat, for example, but the Chalice was a hot item back in the day, and unless the Sundial drops that's a moot point. And please, for the love of god, don't give up Trauma for anything but a Heroic Trauma. That thing is ridiculous in the hands of a raid healing tree, so staves are right out.
As far as gemming goes, the general rule you'll hear at places like EJ and such is that trees shouldn't be trying to patch up holes in their gear with gemming at the high end. You just end up losing too much spell power and you won't even get enough haste/spirit/mp5/whatever to actually fix anything, particularly if you're skipping socket bonuses just to load up. So keep on gemming spell power and use whatever combo of SP+Haste/Int/Spir gems you have to in order to net good socket bonuses. If you really need to change your performance from fight to fight, you should try getting your hands on a few game changing trinkets and swap those babies around if you're having real issues. Frankly, that's why I'm a li'l jealous of you for getting that druid. You already have the two best overall mana regen trinkets in the game right now, with the Heroic one still being a BIS item, so you're already over halfway there. Just get yourself an Althor's Abacus and you'll be able switch up for anything.
jmrz:
Thanks heaps!
Yeah, the gear it has doesn't look too bad. It does need a few hundred more haste, but I think that is definitely something that can be fixed with gear upgrades in spots. From everything I've heard is that druids don't stack mp5, but spirit instead? I have absolutely no mana issues and so far I've only run a couple of heroics. The mana regen from the trinkets is really nice. I respec'd a bit differently to put points into Celestial Focus and regem'd to put some more Reckless Ametrines (sp/haste) in.
I just need to change up my UI to something more healer specific and just try my hand at pugging some raids.

I was gonna comment on tanking gear for it but it has always been in tree gear with those double solaces making me wish it was a human priest/hpala.
You could get a priest/lock draining you all day long and after 3gcd's of LoS have enough mana to heall your partner back up to full.
Solace is the first word in mana stability.
For tank gear, get rogue pieces with tasty stam and some hit/exp on it to get capped, agi/stam in helm if it's a red socket for the meta and then gem stam everywhere else and ench stam like a madman (18 stam patch thingy on gloves, 22 agi on cloak I think and I am pretty sure for druids 10 stats on chest is better than 275hp). It's all druids really have, the HC gunship chest is BiS for drood tanks which is good as it is ez to get and since it's all rogue gear threat should not be a problem.
