Forever notes: Discipline is the mana-efficient support healer; Forever's Nov 2 notes raised healing to match the bigger enemy health pools.

Stats

Healing power (shields scale with it), Intellect (mana pool and crit), Spell Crit (Divine Aegis and Inspiration), then Spirit with Meditation, then mp5.

Shield absorb scales with healing power, so it is still a healer's gear set.
