CH is also great for raid healing... the thing i like about my minor glyph choice is that i NEVER have to carry around reagents... i would rarely use the other 3 glyphs so i think, "eh why not?" Major Glyphs: LHW, CH, ES

Minor: Water Walking, Water Breathing, Reincarnate

The glyph comes in handy during several fights in Naxx, especially Saph & Loatheb & Four Horsemen if you are one of the two people tanking the horses in the back. LHW & glyph is still enticing though. I might switch back to it depending on v3.1 changes. Majors:
Chain Heal
Water Mastery
Healing Wave

Minors:
Water Shield
Regeant removed for reincarnate & water walking

Originally I ran with Earthliving, Water Mastery and Lesser Healing Wave. Then I switched out Earthliving for Healing Wave. Then I switched out Lesser Healing Wave for Earthliving again. With 3.1 I'm thinking of switching out Water Mastery for the Earth Shield glyph. I run a mix of PVP and PVE, and very little of that is 25-manning. I like my glyphs versatile. Glyph of Chain Heal shines the most in 25-man, and sucks in PVP. I like Earthliving because it can proc of "anything" other than Earth Shield. In PVE it helps keeping people stable (that is, loosing health at a reduced pace). In PVP it helps immensily when it procs of Riptide while moving, because I often won't have the luxury of stopping to cast something. Water Mastery is nice enough, given that I'm the lower end of PVE gear. I love Healing Wave! Practically never need to heal myself in PVE, and can top myself up free of charge in PVP. With that said, I don't risk using HW when I'm under fire, just for the circuimstances when I'm healing someone else and I believe they'll survive until the healing lands. <abbr><em>Ayeba’s last blog post..<a href="http://healerenvy.blogspot.com/2009/03/glyph-shuffle-shamanic-version.html" rel="nofollow">The glyph shuffle, shamanic version.</a></abbr></em> Thank you for the comment on my own post.

At the moment I'm running heroics, and on reflection should switch the Everliving to Water Mastery. I find I'm either spamming / cancelling HW (on the tank) or using Chain Heal the majority of the time, with Riptide being used more often than LHW. Just my style really, never got into the LHW spam thing, so don't have to unlearn that :) Minor: Water Shield, Water Walking (so nice to be able to use this just any time, and not worry about reagents), Astral Recall (very occasionally you have to city hop a bit, and find this on cooldown). Major: Everliving, HW, Chain Heal.

Running tons of heroics, and I was OT in VoA, which I thought was the most non-epic raid boss ever. I just got the T7 chest for my warrior. Tanking is getting easier and easier again, and the only complaint I have is for the DPS output of most people in PUGs. 700 DPS in a heroic just won't cut it. It drives me mad. But from reading your blog I think your warrior is probably more accomplished than mine these days. ;) As I tank more often, I have healed less, and I miss it a bit. My warrior is just fine.

Most love 1-2 glyphs but don't find a third one that's really appealing. But I'm happy to hear someone seems to do fine without the Water Mastery glyph in 10 man content. I struggle much more with mana if I heal 10 man Nax with two healers than in all 25 man content (except sarth3d). If I just knew what else to squeeze in that third major glyph slot...

At this point the only place I see for this glyph is really heavy min/max thinking in 25 chainheal spamming situations. Oh, and how's your warrior btw? I’d switch out Earthliving asap.
