Resto issues in MGT...

So, yesterday I did some instance grinding. I healed Sethek Halls with no tank, and the only thing we couldn't handle was the final boss. Then I go to MGT, and I can't heal the whole instance with a tank... I was using food buff for 833+healing, with pvp/tree spec 8/11/42. The tank had good gear, but I think he lacked skills to an extreme. I had no issues when I swapped to my priest, but then again, the priest can heal that DoT damage from the levitate sequence with just PoM whenever it is available.
I know mgt is tough for pallies, but I thought it would be pretty easy for a resto druid since I can normally keep everyone happy with just renew and PoM on my priest, even when he's disc/holy spec'd(yes, he does have 1686+healing as disc, but that's beside the point....).
What gives? I feel I didn't even have to try to heal it with my priest, but had major problems with it on my druid. Is it that tough to heal as a druid?
I think he could have healed it, but they were being stupid.

Your priest has 2x the +heal of your druid... and your really wondering why its that much easier on your priest?

Sounds like a gear issue + bad group. MgT should be a lot easier for your druid once you get better gear. Also, it's not that hard to heal through the gravity lapse DoT, just rotate single Lifeblooms or Rejuvs on the whole party. But again, with your gear you might go OoM too fast. =/

I'm a 0/0/61 druid with +1740 healing unbuffed... I just recently tried to heal H MgT and I had the hardest time on the arcane boss where, the week prior with even less +healing, I was able to heal it alright.
Personally, I think, it's a group issue, nothing to do with your healing or spec. If you can grab the right tank and DPS/CC, you should be fine. By the right kind, I mean people who don't want to rush through the thing and do it improperly and who actually think about using flasks/potions correctly for it. :3

Especially when seeing how +healing coeficients scale with hots you need much more +healing on a druid than pretty much any other healer. Your druid is just undergeared. You have no business stepping into MgT (even normal) without at least 1500+ healing on any healer and probably 1700+ on a druid.

Avalonia i gotta disagree with you, you dont need anywhere close to 1700 +healing for normal MgT.
I healed it on my resto druid with under 1000 + healing, so its definately not that hard.

Wow, I can heal heroic with 1500+healing.... I finally got my pvp mace last night. That puts me just under 1k, over with food buff or with adding the tree buff. As I said, I healed a dps only group almost the entire way thru seth halls with this gear. Druid heals are OP. I'm not talking that my priests massive heals don't help. But 700 ticking renew is about the same as rejuve and 1 LB(but PoM is way OP for burst repairs. =). I had to spam some of them with regrowth because they were being stupid.
Oh yeah, and I've ran mgt a few times on my priest and pally. The priest is by far the easiest to heal with. For instances, I recomend using pvp gear for any healer. It really saves you in the 5 mans when you will sometimes have to tank a few mobs waiting for the tank to peal them off. My +healing is so low for a few reasons, just hit 70 2 weeks ago, and leveled feral all the way thru to 70 because I really don't like caster grinding(yes, I tried it. Wasn't that excited. It might have been my spell damage too. =). So I have all off gear, where the choices made the healing piece a better grab than the feral piece. I'll probably be around 1200 by then end of the week to beginning of next week. =)
As for upgrades, I've been trying to find groups for regular instances ever since 64, trying to get my d3 set, but it's near impossible to get a group on my realm. I just finally got a group all the way thru durnholde last night so I can do BM.

So if you keep having troubles, try that out. I'm half tempted to try dreamstate anyways, even though I sit at 1960+heals atm, since I've heard people rave about it (though mostly in PvP.)
Dreamstate was actually my first build at 70. IMO, it sucks. It's way better at higher levels of gear.
WHY?
Dreamstate
is 10% of your
intellect
. Ya, you have next to nothing on the int base at low gear levels. My regen bumped like, 10 mp5 going full resto to dreamstate. It doesn't make up for the massive cost of HT. Now, if you have 500 int, and 400 spirit, that is a massive amount of regen.
(Did blizz just shoot me in the foot?)
Ya, below 1200 healing, HT may be a better heal, but it doesn't much matter when you still can't regen anything does it? I tried both, and the true druid way of healing is by far better. Roll your HoT's, and enjoy not having to watch for bursts too much. If you wanna talk OOM issues, roll dreamstate and try to heal MGT with only 1k+healing. You can't keep it up for very long. Rolling a LB stack on a tank is way easier to manage, and costs way less mana.
The joy of dreamstate at higher levels, is you can do good burst damage while being able to heal as well, and regen like crazy. The disadvantage.... It makes you pretty squishy. You have to have the gear, or you die
really fast
. No joke.
