A. My mistweaver,

    http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/uldum/Chronospanda/advanced

is now the veteran of 70 dungeon runs, 3 as dps, 67 as heals.  The character's level has risen to 67 and is close to moving on to Northrend and the WotLK material.

B. New healing skills

---Healing sphere
---Uplift
---Mana tea
---Thunder focus tea

show a lot of promise, though I have yet to master them all.

C. Since MoP started, the mistweaver monk is the first I've seen that can exhaust its mana pool.  This makes Mana Tea (funny play on words, there) a real blessing.  I can refill an empty pool in 5 to 7 seconds following heavy encounters.

D. Healing Sphere does not yet make sense to me.  Laying down spheres does not take all that long, but it does take some time.  Most of the tanks I encounter are in quite a hurry.  I need to figure out how to do this quickly.

E. Uplift and Thunder Focus Tea are both of the form 'spend more chi, get more done' so they have their uses for burst healing.  I just need to practice on these two.

F. On dps/questing side, Crackling Jade Lightning has shown its usefulness.  With a talent choice, Paralysis gets a 20 yard range, which makes it more versatile.
