DW Helm is nice, but it is NOT a mana free heal unless you are (a) able to stand around for 10 seconds per cast doing exactly nothing else and (b) unable to sit to med and (c) willing to forgo level-appropriate buffs that conflict (the entire rest of the Cleric Heroism line and the Druid Natureskin line.) I have not yet encountered situations on p99 where all of those were true except for very brief periods of time. A 10 second cast means that even if you have no lag or server latency so you can time perfectly and only lose one med tick per cast you still lose that med tick (and you can click only 5x per minute rather than chain-clicking 6x per minute if you sit between casts and catch the med ticks you can.)

It's a nice clicky. But it's not truly mana-free and it sees limited use in a solid group at an active camp with heavy fighting (i.e. xp grinding.) Using the click prevents you from doing anything else 10 seconds at a time, for a whopping 110 to 125hp per cast (at L45 to L60), is that really what you want your tank doing?
