TWW S1 MW tier set

Was talking with a few of my friends that play MW and I’m struggling to understand what happened to our tier set bonuses during the dev cycle?

I picked up MW coming from Rdruid at end of DF. Sheilun’s was outstanding… now it is so meager and piddly. At least I enjoy the feeling of Fistweaving as a raid healer (compared to Rdruid)… but now I get a 2 set that I only get to benefit from one of its spells and the 4 set literally won’t happen while Fistweaving???

I’ve been reading people’s posts about fistweaving… many are passionate about it. Why is it getting dismantled this hard? I read that people were upset because “healers had to dps in keys” and I haven’t found that to be the case (all of DF M+ mounts obtained). However, I found that I MOST enjoyed healing when I felt rewarded with doing dps because I healed well and planned well for the pulls. Catweaving bleeds in while frantically maintaining rejuvs and adaptive swarm was fun. Fistweaving while maintaining RenMists is fun.

Why don’t I get a 4set bonus that does ANYTHING for me?
What sins did Fistweavers commit to deserve this?

Alternative 4set ideas that would’ve been helpful for both playstyles:
Env mist buff of any kind… i mean it could proc a chi wave and that’d be something…
Sheilun’s gift being a gift again?
A proc that increases mastery (I’d settle for the other stats)

For perspective:
I don’t care if other healers are better. I don’t care if I am not optimally built. I found a playstyle and a class that I enjoy and I want to play it. I don’t understand why I need to not have access to a core part of the gearing-up process. Everyone else gets to enjoy the hype (even if marginally) for assembling their tier set and I get to watch them from the sidelines.

I get it… reroll… go be an Hpal… go start over and lose way too much progress because people complained about the thing that I enjoy.

Meant RenMist

I think MW is in an interesting state from a design perspective. Right now I’m finding it much easier to heal M+ as pure caster since it has higher sustained HPS, and sacrificing our meager DPS has little impact in +7 (probably even in +10).
On the other hand I’m sure the top pushers will stick to fistweaving since the main enemy is the timer.

With regards to our set bonus: Just my guess, but I think the 4p allows a fistweaver with Peer into Peace to meet any sustained healing check in M+, then swap back to melee for most of the dungeon. Imo this is the kind of hybrid MW is meant to be, not when the two styles are interlinked via rotation nonstop. That felt disruptive to my gameplay.

What is your M+ pure caster talent build if you don’t mind sharing.

So all I got from this is that this guy doesn’t cast vivify for some reason.
