Any advice on healing Baleroc heroic for resto druid?

Hello, What is the better healing strategy for healing baleroc heroic 25 with a resto druid?
Thank you for your time.

We generally take turns healing the tank and people with torment, switching between the assignments every time a shard spawns. For example, you could be assigned to tank + ranged soakers, which would mean:

shard 1: tank
shard 2: ranged soakers
shard 3: tank
shard 4: ranged soakers
...

You get Vital Spark stacks only from direct heals, so when healing soakers make sure to have Lifebloom up somewhere (for mana regen, not for healing) and spam that Nourish/HT. Having Nature's Bounty and some Rejus up isn't a bad idea. Swiftmend also gives you stacks, so remember to utilize it when the Torment debuff stack is high.

When switching to the tank, I like to open with Regrowth to transform Vital Spark into Vital Flame asap. After that it's just a matter of "normal" tank healing. Make sure that you don't waste a Swiftmend + Efflorescence on refreshing Vital Flame -- be certain that the buff is up when you're using Swiftmend. Refresh hots before the buff drops for the second time. Usually you only want to take two rounds of Vital Flame, but it's not a big deal to take three if the shard is delayed a bit.
