New Cast Times
The following will become our new "base" cast times, before gear or raid buffs are added.
10 -> 9.09 seconds
Revive
3.5 -> 3.18 seconds
Starfire
3.0 -> 2.72 seconds
Healing Touch, talented Starfire (Starlight Wrath)
2.5 -> 2.27 seconds
talented HT (Naturalist)

This includes the GCD, Nourish, glyphed but untalented HT (no Naturalist), insta-casts (LB, Rejuv, WG, Swiftmend), and talented Wrath (Starlight Wrath).

In short... we will need a lot more haste to get to that 1 sec GCD... I guess that's not all that big of a deal. For those of us capable of acquiring t10, losing the t9 4-piece means we care less about crit again.
And if I am reading that new glyph right, stacking haste makes Rejuv quite nice...
Others who get t10 may still like crit, as well. It depends on what your role is as a healer in raids, and thus what spells a druid finds themselves needing.
The same thing applies to the new hasted rejuv-tick glyph. Faster-ticking rejuvs make a target swiftmendable for less time per cast, which could be very undesireable for some druids, as well as cases where damage is going out slower over a raid and the faster ticks may be wasted. Personally, I find the Nourish glyph more useful in my raiding than making my rejuvs faster would be. After all, if I want fast ticks, I'll drop on a lifebloom :)
Hey Kae, you mistype the haste rating needed for WoA + Aura + NG, it's 166, not 116 as you wrote on the previous post ;)
Ah! Thank you for catching that, Fréd! :) I went in and fixed it.
I am a bit confused about your numbers.
Example:
Buffs Rating required for 1 second
none 1192.36
At http://www.wowwiki.com/Casting_speed I find the following formula:
% Spell Haste at level 80 = (Haste Rating / 32.79)
Taking your number:
1192.36 / 32.79 = 36.36
Adding 10% for GotEM makes 46.36 %
For 1.0 GCD we need 50% so where do the missing 3.64% come from as you say the 1192.36 is without any other buff besides GotEM ?
OK found the explanation on my own ;)
Formula is
(Base/(1+(GotEM%/100))/(1+(haste%/100)
and not
Base/(1+(GotEM% + Haste% / 100))
Second seemed somehow more natural to me but is obviously wrong :)
