How do we heal while PVEing?

So far the best way to self heal is to bear form and frenzied. It takes some getting used to but its so much better than just using regrowth.
There is a talent which makes barkskin give you 20% more healing. Pop that as you shift into bear and every 30 seconds you can frenzied regen for a huge chunk of hp. If youre playing with warmode. The bear form talent to cast moonfire while in bear is nice because you can use the bearform downtime to refresh your dots.
You should be picking natures vigil also. Its not going to spike your life back up. But 30 seconds of 20% of your damage healing you is no joke. And the cd is short enough that you can just pop it constantly.
Another big tool for you will be renewal 1.5 min cd for instant 30% heal. Again you can combo it in bear form with frenzied regen and barkskin for massive healing. That combo will full heal you and its extremely reliable to do.
There is a talent that when you drop below 40% life you get a frezied regen cast on you which is awesome because it happens in any form.
The talent below it. Protector of the pack. Its very very good as a gaurdian druid. But i find it very lack luster as boomkin and feral because there is no compounding multiplier for it to scale again to a huge heal with regrowth. So take the other healing options over this.
Regrowth isnt the most garbage spell for you to self heal with. But it is the weakest choice in the sense of how much you need to commit to casting it in time, globals, mana. That youre better of using almost any other option we have.

Protector of the Pack when fully charged FEELS like how a Regrowth heal should feel normally.
I say DELETE Protector of the Pack, and just bake the max healing boost from the talent into the Regrowth spell baseline, without needing to build up the heal with our DPS.
I think they wanted to go for an interesting and dynamic talent choice with Protector of the Pack, but as it turns out, for Balance spec, you have to give up so many good talent choices to get all the way down to Protector of the Pack just so your Regrowth doesn’t feel like garbage healing.
For Feral and Guardian, you’re already on that side of the tree for most of the animal form talents, so they don’t suffer the same issue Balance does.
Either delete the Protector of the Pack talent and bake the healing into Regrowth. OR keep it and buff Regrowth for Balance Druids baseline, so we don’t have to go so deep into that side of the tree.
I also think Well-Honed Instincts should be higher in the tree too. It works for all forms and every spec, so move it more to the middle. It’s a very good talent for all specs.
