Please don't make facile comparisons between the complex *classes* in WoW. At the very least briefly consider a spell or talent in its own class context before posting comments.

This talent is there not to give some extra bonus healing to *druids*, as implied by your post, but to the Restoration tree. In other words, it does two things:

Normalizes spec off-healing: It allows making the base/caster healing of non-resto specs to be as weak as it should be for a non-healer, save for emergency healing or in the case of balance druids, situational off-healing.
Normalizes healing spec: It brings back up the caster heals of the resto spec to the same level as other healers. This is especially important because the Tree of Life shapeshift with this passive bundled into it was removed and therefore baseline healing in resto is as a caster (Tree of Life just becomes a cooldown/special trinket).

Don't forget that druids can potentially be any role in the game. However, the intention is NOT that this should be possible all in one spec. Oddly enough, that full "hybrid" nature is probably best attributed to shamans - though not seriously pursued by Blizzard (yet).

This actually used to be somewhat of a problem in Burning Crusade and early Wrath of the Lich King expansions. I remember clearly when the off-healing as a ranged dps and even as feral was so good that what should have been emergency (mostly self) heals became situational heals. What should have been situational heals (mainly in balance spec) became regularly used heals for a group. This was particularly true in pvp comps, but also some pve.

So, what was the point of bringing a resto when you could have almost all their utility and a strong portion of their heals from the dps specs? Exactly...

This is what Gift of Nature passive is there to *eliminate*. It took 5-6 years for Blizzard to get to this point with numerous tweaking along the way. I think you can fairly assume they know what they are doing and there is absolutely no class favoritism implied. Otherwise the result would be extremely evident all the time in both pve and pvp (including Flavor of the Month high-end pvp re-rollers).

Finally, in terms of off-healing, there is no comparison between the potential output of an elemental shaman who in three GCD's can dps, save an individual's life, and aoe heal versus balance druid. Heck, at level 85, an enhancement shaman can do more aoe healing with Healing Rain and their spellpower conversion than even a resto druid!

To illustrate lack of favoritism: for pvp at the moment, if you put a gun to my head (i.e. I'm not the FotM type), many would still choose a paladin due to their superior healing (they are still currently stronger than the other healers despite the Light of Dawn nerf), defensive cds and offensive capability, and shamans and priests have offensive dispels over a druid any day of the week. In addition, dispel protection for druids only extends to Lifebloom ...
