Tips for Healing 10 ToGC as Discipline

So since I know how to heal all of ToGC on 10 man, I thought I'd share my strats on keeping my tanks and raid alive.
Northrend Beasts
  • Phase 1-Gormok the Impaler
Best spells:
Power Word: Shield
Prayer of Mending
Prayer of Healing
Penance
Flash Heal
Greater Heal

Start this fight by shielding the first tank. Send a ProM and give him Renew. Don't spam your heals but as soon as the tank gets the first debuff, start using Penance whenever it's up. Here you must use your own judgment. Flash heals must be used in between Penances. If you have a Scale of Fates, macro it to your Greater Heal and use it whenver Scale is available. If you are doing this correctly, you and your other tank healer should be focusing on the tank tanking, but should be able to keep the second tank up. When the boss's aoe goes off, your ProMs should be bouncing in the raid. Macro your Power Infusion to Prayer of Healing and use this spell on the two groups. This will help your raid healer. If you get a snobold, use shields, ProMs and Renews until it's gone to avoid getting spell locked. One thing we noticed is that when DBM announces Fire bomb, if you strafe into an empty spot you will never get hit.
  • Phase 2-Acidmaw and Dreadscale
Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
Prayer of Mending
Penance
Flash Heal
Greater Heal
Hymn of Hope

You want to heal your tank basically the same way as phase 1. Don't forget that if you're burning Acidmaw down first to switch to Dreadscale's tank when Acidmaw dies if you were healing Acidmaw's tank. Dreadscale's tank will start taking a lot more damage. Shields are perfect for this phase. Shield anybody who gets poison or fire. Don't forget to spread out! You may also want to use Hymn of Hope here when you get low and the worms are underground.
  • Phase 3-Icehowl
Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
Penance
Prayer of Healing
Shadowfiend

You will probably be very low on mana at the beginning of this phase. Pop your shadowfiend as soon as the tank gets aggro. Keep up your tank healing rotation and shield+flash heal those who get caught in Icehowl's Arctic Breath. If Icehowl charges you ro someone near you, look around while you're stunned and plan your path. Use your strafing keys to follow this path. After he slams into the wall, use this time to top off your raid.

Ja
raxxus
Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
ProM
Dispel
Penance
Flash Heal

Heal your tank just like normal. Shield+Renew the offtank as well. Be sure to help dispel the tank if he gets the debuff and dispel Jaraxxus's buff. Your tank won't be taking a lot of damage but the raid will. Pay attention to who gets Incinerate Flesh and spam heal them til it's gone. Throw a shield on whoever gets the Legion Flame. Make sure that there are 15 yds between you and the other raiders to avoid heavy chain lightning damage. A new mechanic of the fight is a type of charm cast by the Mistress of Pain. If you see the hearts above your head telling you she has charmed you, target the boss and cast Mind Blast. It will spell lock your shadow spells and you can go back to healing.

Faction Champions

Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
Penance
Mass Dispel
Psychic Scream
Pain Suppression

Dispel, dispel, dispel. That's your main job here. Your only real healing spell you will use is Penance. Throw it on raiders taking massive damage. Shield the raiders who are taking hits from the champions. Make sure that you are dispelling any dots or debuffs on the raiders and be sure to dispel the champions' bloodlust/heroism. If you get aggro, fade (it actually works oddly enough) or psychic scream. If these abilities are on cooldown or the champion resists and you are taking a lot of hits, pain suppress yourself. You will get a lot of aggro this fight for mass dispel. I don't know why but it happens. So be careful and keep yourself alive.


The Twin Val'kyr

Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
Prayer of Mending
Penance
Flash Heal
Binding Heal

Since you constantly take damage in this fight, Binding Heal is a very good spell to use. Be sure to not overheal too much with it. Prayer of Mending shines in this fight as well. It will be bouncing all over the raid to tackle that raid damage. Get the opposite color of the majority of your dps near you and be sure to avoid orbs of the opposite color and touch the ones of the same color. Not much else to say here. Just make sure that when one casts the shield, the other one's tank is being spam healed. She will do more damage when she is shielded.

Anub'rekhan
Best Spells:
Power Word: Shield
Penance
Flash Heal

I haven't actually downed this but I know how to do it for the most part. This isn't a heavy healing fight until phase 3. Just typical tank healing. Phase 2 is the critical phase. You have to stay alive here. On phase 3, designate one healer to keep the tank up and the other two to keep the raid at 30% or so. If you are tank healing, use your usual tank healing rotation. If you are raid healing, shield your group and flash heal those that get below 20%. Keep them at 30% so Anub'rekhan does not heal too much.


And that's all I got! Critiques are welcome.
