There are pages of posts for & against meters. Just about every class balancing sub-topic stems from this as well.
This post is not to argue for or against schemantics.
This post is about a sweeping resolve to remove the issue altogether. An Evolution.
Remove / Mask all healing related events from the combat log.
Let healers finally just enjoy the game without the pressure some perceive to top the healing meters.
Let the healers get back to roots & enjoy being part of a healing team working together to effectively get your raid team through to cross the line.
Put an end to , & bury the continual slide-rule schemantics of something that should not matter to a healing class anyway.
With the complete re-work of class mechanics for Cata this would be an oppurtune time to impliment this. With mana management meaning something again the 'Meterz' wars will just develop into who can cast the most mana efficient spell the fastest, leading to an entire X-Pac of Cata tweaking & rebalancing. Tweak & re-balance all you wish Mr Crawler , but please consider doing it out of the 'public combat log eye'.
