In Mind Spike, there is the potential to fill that need IF it were instant.
But it is not, and it does not need to be. IDP fits the exact description you gave: expensive on mana, instant, and sub-optimal.
Indeed, too expensive; the damage is there, but it costs 4 times as much flay...

I'm actually really excited about the chakra system. And PW:B? Omfg leetsauce!
See, now this makes me VERY torn. I don't know whether or not to go back to Holy for amazing Chakra potential, because that's where my heart really is... or stay Disco for that amazing PW:B incoming! What a personal dilemma!

You really gonna be playing in Cata? Won't you have smaller level-one issues to contend with?

Well it looks like the goal is to allow both Holy and Disc to Raid and Tank Heal from the same tree, just with a different style.
Holy through role augmentation via broad toolkit and chakra and Disc through improved single target healing and a new PW:B to round it out.
Pick the style:
Mitigation (and force your primary healing style into the encounter mold like a paladin, shaman or druid) or
Flexible (and change your primary healing style to what best suits the encounter mold)

ha! I guess I never really made a WoWhead Baby announcement, but March 19th, at 2:35 AM, I became a father! He'll be 4 weeks old tomorrow morning at 2:35am! I imagine I'll still be playing to some degree, he does tend to sleep a lot. I can usually get in a heroic or something before he becomes fussy and want some attention. Time will tell!

yes, this is my point. Now that I can do anything I want, I may play Holy as it is the style I've always enjoyed more. Isn't that the goal of the game after all?

ha! thanks guys! I will tell you that new fatherhood is both the most amazing and exhausting thing at the same time. I get sleep in 1-2 hour intervals.

It certainly feels like they're taking steps in the right direction, away from the concept that to be complete healers we no longer need two healing specs (a burden not shared by any other healing class).

The changes seem interesting. If between patches blizzard seemed afraid to change things, they reverted to the change it ALL mentallity (something that we already knew, things as Stat unification are huge).
I'm very curious to see how it turns out.
Now, I want quadra spec, because i'm wishing i can play all that xD

Surprisingly, they didn't do anything about a non-shadow DPS spec!
btw, thanks all for your congratulations!

btw, thanks all for your congratulations! They hinted that chakra might affect smite, but that's going to be pretty limited in effect because smite dps is so far behind everything else to begin with.

Gothri, you make a good point, however, we don't really know enough about how it's going to be implemented in the FIRST place to make a clear judgement as to how it's going to work for us, but I think the potential of this idea can make it go very far.
The "three in a row" idea makes a lot of sense to me, but while you say that it seems so constraining, I see an enormous deal of freedom instead.
