Resto druid cooldowns

We have two:
ToL
and
Tranquility
I would like to know how the raiding druids are using these.
This past weekend, I healed the first 3 bosses of BWD, and my 3 highest heals were Rj, WG and Lb. First time that I healed a proper raid in this expac (I don't count BH) and I did fairly ok (we got the achieves for Magmaw and Maloriak!), kept up with a paladin healer (and was substantially above the other resto druid who was lesser geared).
Wasn't happy with my cooldown usage (I'm getting there with ToL though), and would like some pointers.

ToL + Tranq = 400-470k healing in a very very short period of time. I've yet to pair it with a Volcanic pot, but i'd only do that on the stack phase of Chim lol.
ToL is what I use preemptively for heavy raid wide damage.
LB spam + regrowth while clear casting
WG + Rejuvs ON the WG targets
Both work great or if you are really really bored due to mechanics or excellent heals on the part of your other healers toss out IS+MF and Wrath spam. Quite a good option on P3 Chim.

Oh I definitely plan to keep ToL for P3 Chim - thing was, I never felt at any point that I really needed to use Tranquility... Is that alright? :) We didn't really have any deaths as such and my mana was fairly ok (I kept feeding the paladin innervates). Though I did pop ToL when the second tron came online in the Omnotron fight - but that was purely a mana saving cooldown. The throughput wasn't really needed.
Bah, I really don't like cooldowns :P

You didn't feel like you needed tranq at any point because, well, you didn't. And you definetly shouldn't use tranq when you can do without it. None of those 3 bosses require heavy burst raid healing when properly executed. However, on bosses later on, or halfus attempt with a bunch of uninterrupted shadow novas, you will see everyone's health pool getting low and continuing to sink and this kind of situations are where the high burst of tranq is needed. Going to a feud oom on chimaeron would be a good spot to pop tranq, or, if you haven't used it before, pop when you take the last massacre before you push him to the last phase. Also, council at elementium monstrosity, if your DPS is lacking a bit and the lightning starts to be more than you can heal through, and everyone's HP is getting low, that's the spot to pop tranq.

Tranq on the stack for chim is about letting other heals conserve mana for later on in the fight. :P

Only places I use tranq with the intention of using it (ie: not an oh-#$%^ moment) is last feud before p3 on chim, and the occational too-much-damage-from-searing flames on Atramedes. Other than that, I suggest that you do use it during a boss fight if it is a death prevention. Chances are you won't be needing it for anything else
