Gift of the Naaru, right now, is an unfortunate spell for a healer, given that it has a 3 minute cooldown. On a boss pull? certainly, but it’s hardly a spell that I consider a part of my “normal spell arsenal” – rather, it’s something I can pull out of the hat in an emergency. It doesn’t even begin to compare to Renew or Rejuv – which is why I generally say that shaman do not have a HoT spell as of right now in the game. If the cooldown was reduced, maybe – but a spell that can be used once per boss fight is hardly one that can be compared to the tank healing HoTs of other classes!

That said – it can sure pull your tail out of a tight spot while soloing!
