I remember halfway through a *heroic* Shadow Lab, our healer DC'ing, being

that I've never doubted a feral druid's healing capabilities if they need
to heal ;-)

This has been my experience too. I'm a feral druid with 1800 healing
and 150 mp5 while casting, unbuffed. I can heal *everything* if I have
a decent group.

It all comes down to 2 things: gear and knowledge.

Gearwise, you need about 30% more +healing and 30% more mp5 while
casting as a feral druid than an equivalent resto druid to heal the
same thing.

Knowledge really means, have you had to main heal before? Once you've
done it a dozen times, it becomes old hat, and you can do it no matter
what your spec is.
