imo this ring is a joke ..

pretty small upgrade comapered to
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21681

i expected a bit more from a end wing boss of naxx compared to an "easy" optional boss in aq.

My druid currently has +646 healing and +84 mana/5s (I would gain a netto 118 healing and 3 stamina without losses if I would get the AQT augur staff, which should be soon). I prefer mana regen over +healing for a couple of simple reasons. Firstly it helps regen in feral forms too (I often play as a restoferal hybrid druid in raids and + healing doesn't help me in feral, mana regen does). Then for encounters like Heigan I help nuking, mana regen helps there more than healing. Mana regen also helps for curing, abolishing, hybernating, etc etc. Just yesterday I also respecced from 0/30/21 to 24/0/27 to give that build a try and the mana savings from that template with a high mana regen gear focus is quite fun. :)

I also don't like items without STA or INT (especially with the 30/21 build since HOTW benefits from it - I used to have 10300 mana with raid buffs). Hence the reason for example I prefer the Angelista necklace over the one from the C'thun head quest.

Back on supject on this ring, I like it a lot, from my perspective it's a very small upgrade over the Ring of the Devoured (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21681) which I currently have equipped together with Band of Sulfuras (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19138).

Zuzel, failing to factor in +22 healing and just looking at the difference in mana regen isn't really a comparison.

First!
