I have 80 healers of all four classes and find it a bit interesting at times. In a heroic with me, your probably are at greatest risk of dieing on the first pull while I try and remember which toon I am on, what my mouse click bindings are and which spells I should be using. There is a great deal of variety in gameplay between each of the healers.
I imagine. It's just that the Paladin healing style is so different from the Druid's. In fact, I think it's the exact opposite.
On my Druid I'm just used to putting Rejuvenation on someone who takes damage while keeping Rejuvenation and Regrowth on the tank. If the tank starts to drop I use a Lifebloom and Nourish/Wild Growth/Swiftmend, whichever is available. Having two HoTs on the tank means his health is declining a lot slower than if he was receiving no healing at all. It allows me to focus on other stuff without having a seizure.
Plus, rolling Rejuvenation and Regrowth on the tank is, in my opinion, easier than rolling Beacon of Light and Sacred Shield. And while the mechanics of Beacon allows you to focus on others while still healing the tank, it's not as effective as a HoT. If your entire group starts to take damage, for instance, I found it very stressful to watch your tank drop faster than your Flash of Light spam on the rest could keep him up.
Wild Growth + Tranquility = win.
