On the subject of healers, I've been futzing with my Monk (Mistweaver) and am still getting used to the changes since Pandaria with Mistweaver as I really had not played him at all during WoD. I'm okay with the "cast something to start soothing mist" part of the situation even though I really liked the old version with the 0.5 second GCD, but I miss the insta-cast while channeling business.
My bigger question about Mistweavers : Does anyone else find the Artifact weapon ability to be fairly clunky? Granted I am just getting into the swing of things, but I find myself only using the "Sheilun's Gift" ability when I accidently hit it (NAGA mouse). I could see it being a nice "oh fuck!" ability to use when all the regenerative mists are not keeping things stable, but by virtue of it having a casting time it feels like there are more natural ways to address any healing deficit. Then again I also chose to use my Artifact Power to boost Soothing Mists first which according to the guides is the most stupid thing to do ever, so I may just be terrible. **
**in my defense and given how much running around goes in general I figured that maximizing Soothing along with Jade Serpent Statue and Mist Wrap (which allows you to soothe on the move) was a great option.

I've been healing raids/mythic+/etc as MW and here's what I've learned.
Sheilun's Gift is good to use just when you see an opportunity. No matter the stacks. I generally use it when I see someone at half health or so, its good to weave in with Chi Burst for your no-mana rotation.
The artficat weapon really benefits from Mastery, the first Gold Trait (forget the name) that triggers a heal bomb after the boost ends. The next trait that has Renewing Mist jump and the second gold trait (top left) that triggers a heal bomb when you use Mana Tea.
Basically, the most effective way to Mistweave is to be up in everyone's shit while you're healing. Generally right in there with the melee to maximize the free heal bombs and chi burst. Sheilun's Gift is a bit clunky comparatively but its mostly just a free heal to use when you alternate to mana-free rotation. Which you need to do as we can get mana starved if you're not shifting to chi burst/sheilun's/mana tea vivify regularly and Mana Cost Tea (whatever the name is) whenever you can.

Thing I hate about our artifact is the long'ish cast time, in a raid, by the time I fire it off the person has already been topped off by multiple faster heals from other healers. I'd love for them to change it to channeled over 2-3s or something so that we can use some of the mists, but not all of them if they arent needed.

With so much talk about how bad DH was going to be for mythic why play one as a main tank?

Pretty much the only measure of success on these raids is if you are alive at the end. Damage done is barely more than a measurement of pure fucking luck unless you have a team of analysts combing through your logs like its fantasy football.
You'd have to kill (or wipe) to something 50 times to get enough of a sample size to just go by meters. Overlay the above charts with simcraft results for a laugh.
People fighting for mythic spots.. lol?

Had a hard time keeping a dh up in heroic ursoc. Finally warr was like just voke off me when I say, and then we won easily with the warr tanking like 80% of the time lol. Pretty sure he was below i850 but so was warr. Can't imagine a dh tank in mythic
When pulling logs you should consider limiting Normal and Heroic to the last 1 week because of all the changes that hit last Tuesday. It really shows the buff the Enhancement shaman.

As much as it will make me cry bitter tears Ignore pain is just fucking nuts as it currently stands. I am not sure even nerfing it to the ground would be enough it probably will need to get removed at some point or have some 30 second or something CD.
